Verdict

Michael Dods' in-form filly BRAZILIAN BELLE wasn't seen to ideal effect when a close fifth at Haydock last time and rates just the pick at these weights too so is taken to make a winning start on tapeta and thwart Water Of Leith who came in a promising seventh over C&D recently and seems sure to go close. Blue Lakota, Thankuappreciate and Dark Kestrel can also have a say too in this very open handicap.
