Form: 52

W: 9st 4lb

Age: 2 yo Colt

Form

Belardo colt who built on debut promise with second of ten in 5f Windsor novice 11 days ago; drawn wide here but he can do better still now stepped up to 6f so must still enter calculations.

W: 9st 4lb

Age: 2 yo Colt

11-1 and green, encouraging debut seventh of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago; this son of Harry Angel can take a step forward.

Lady Branksome 15 days

J: Jason Hart

T: Michael Bell

Form: 52

OR: —

W: 9st 2lb

Age: 2 yo Filly

Form

Has shaped well on both her runs, pulling clear of rest when runner-up in 6f Ripon novice 15 days ago; this Saxon Warrior filly holds leading claims with better likely still to come.

Koodini 13 days

J: Rowan Scott

T: Hugo Palmer

Form: 90

OR: —

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 2 yo Colt

Form

Well held on both his starts here last month but he's suffered a poor run each time, poorly drawn in C&D novice 13 days ago; in good hands and can take a step forward now.

OR: —

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 2 yo Colt

Form

33-1, made an encouraging start with fourth of 12 in maiden at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago; this Dubawi Legend colt can build on it here.

OR: —

W: 8st 10lb

Age: 2 yo Filly

80-1 and green, always behind when tenth of 11 in C&D novice (good) on her first run 13 days ago; lots more is required from this Havana Grey filly.

Isca Bay

Verdict

Michael Bell’s LADY BRANKSOME has shaped promisingly on both her runs and looks to have been found a good opportunity to build on a clear Ripon second and gain a first victory. Windsor runner-up Belardo Ace (second choice) is drawn widest of all but could still emerge as the main danger unlesss one of the newcomers Isca Bay and Zambezi Shark proves to be well above average.[Peter Entwistle]
