Bella Colorossa¹

Forecasts

Bella Colorossa (9/4), Dubai Emperor (11/4), Channel Packet (10/3), James Park Woods (4/1), Captain St Lucifer (4/1), Copake (7/1), Diamonds At Dusk (11/1)

It might be worth taking a chance on the lightly-raced DUBAI EMPEROR who made quite an encouraging return from a break at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Ivan Furtado has his team in good form so last month's C&D scorer Captain St Lucifer rates a likely threat. Bella Colorossa could also be a major player but might have done better at Kempton on Wednesday.
