Improving Godolphin-owned Blue Point colt. Runner-up in three consecutive appearances (once over course and distance), including his Fontainebleau return over 1200m on 6 March, so wouldn't be winning out of turn

Race Overview
ADORE BLUE (4) has been costly to follow, having finished 2nd in three consecutive outings (once over this course and distance), but need only perform to the level of his encouraging comeback 2nd at Fontainebleau to open his account. However, WOOTTON MELODY (8) is also open to improvement on his reappearance and could pose a threat after two promising introductory runs last year. Both WINNING FORMULA (6) and LAZYM (1) also have the form and experience to fight for victory. Good race!
