Belle Yeux¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 58

150/1

Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (15/8), Emerald Army (11/4), Cooperation (4/1), Petra Celera (9/2), Valadero (9/1), Most Wanted (40/1), Big Bug (100/1), Belle Yeux (150/1)

PETRA CELERA capitalised on a falling mark when scoring decisively at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and a penalty is unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid back on turf. Monsieur Fantaisie has been running consistently well and is feared most, while Emerald Army is also of some interest.
