        soon outpaced in last pair, modest late headway, never in contention

        In depth

        Verdict

        Milton Bradley is double-handed with recent Wolverhampton scorer, Colourbearer, looking the likeliest of his pair after scoring at Wolverhampton last time following a series of consistent efforts. Another good run is anticipated but he's up 3lb for that success and MADAM ISSHE makes plenty of appeal to land the spoils here. Her sole victory came under today's conditions - five furlongs on soft ground - and she has been in good heart of late. Malcolm Saunders is a dab hand with his sprinters and she can land a deserved success. The Jailer and Two Turtle Doves are consistent but exposed, although both merit shortlist inclusion at this level.
