Brazen Belle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Kingscote| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago, making all and winning easily. 6 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| D

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 59| D

16/5

Red Walls¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: L Williamson| OR: 58| CD

Gizza Job^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

Forecasts

Brazen Belle (3/1), Dark Side Prince (16/5), Glamorous Force (11/2), Nacho (6/1), Toplight (8/1), The Gloaming (17/2), Red Walls (11/1), Billy Dylan (22/1), Red Stripes (66/1), Gizza Job (125/1)

NACHO was helped by being held up in a strongly-run race when posting a career-best C&D success 12 days ago and with a similar scenario likely on the cards here, it would come as no surprise to see him firmly in the shake-up for the red-hot Donald McCain team. Brazen Belle tasted success at Lingfield last time and is feared, along with Dark Side Prince and Glamorous Force.
