Isis Blue Back On AW

Things haven't gone quite as well as expected for Isis Blue this season, although an impressive victory at Salisbury in May showed how good he actually is when things fall right. He's had excuses on his last two starts, it was very difficult to make up ground when fifth at Sandown and he saw too much daylight and probably failed to stay twelve furlongs at Salisbury last time. He returns to the AW at Kempton this evening, a surface that suits and has first-time cheekpieces to try and get a bit more out of him and if running up to his best, he has strong each-way claims this evening.

Having made a promising seasonal return when fifth at Wolverhampton, things haven't gone so well on the turf for Winnie Perry this season, his best effort a length third of three at Warwick, He has dropped nine pounds since that Wolverhampton return and back on the AW at Lingfield on Wednesday might just see a return to form in a weak looking Class 6 event. He certainly has the ability to win a small race.
