Last Ran: 27th May 2010
Ten runners for the Group 2 Blue Square Henry II Stakes at Sandown on Thursday with the Michael Jarvis trained Opinion Poll bidding to make it two from two since he returned back on the scene in April.
This four year old won a valuable handicap at Ascot last season and returned in April to take the Further Flight Stakes at Nottingham on soft ground. He is one who needs good ground with his trainer suggesting that if there is any mention of firm he may find it a difficult task.
Frankie Dettori partners Sabotage while Ted Durcan gets Darley Sun who won the Cesarewitch last year.
Illustrious Blue proved he can stay when taking the Group 3 Sagaro Stakes at Ascot at the end of April and gets the chance to shine at 2miles again here.
Furmigadelagiusta, Eradicate, Saptapadi, Akmal, Montaff and Balkan Knight complete the ten.
