Formscan - Bluegrass failed to build on his promising third at Taunton when producing an underwhelming display at Doncaster next time, but first-time blinkers might help him to bounce back. Even so, TAPLEY looks the way to go. Suzy Smith's nine-year-old was just touched off in this class over fences at Kempton on Boxing Day and is a C&D winner. Off a workable mark, he looks the one to beat. Nap Hand is another to keep an eye on.
