RISK BELLE quickly developed into a useful performer in this sphere, adding to her tally over C&D in April prior to not being seen to best effect at Punchestown later that month. It's feasible to think she can do better again this term and earns the vote in receipt of weight all round. Her stablemate Gust of Wind and Nusret are others fancied to feature.
