6/1
Belardo half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m-1½m winner Court House, useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Cape Factor and useful 1m winner Benzanno. Some paper appeal and betting should guide.

25/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Haydock (1m) on debut 17 days ago, very slowly away. Hopefully he gets away on terms this time.

Forecasts

Marselan (9/4), Top Of The Pops (11/4), Forever William (4/1), Wallem (5/1), Wink Of An Eye (5/1), Deira Champion (5/1), Corbulo (6/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on well-bred Mark Johnston newcomer TOP OF THE POPS, with confidence increased should the market speak in his favour. Marselan was third in similar company here last time so ought to figure under William Buick, while Wallem is another newcomer who commands respect.

  1. TOP OF THE POPS
  2. MARSELAN (IRE)
  3. WALLEM
