BELISARIUS was returned a losing favourite on his comeback at the Curragh last month. But the form looks better in hindsight with the winner, Answered, making the frame in Group 3 company and the runner-up subsequently scoring. The Ballydoyle colt should find this easier and has plenty in hand at the weights with Captain Teemo, runner-up over a mile here in October. Princess Glamour may prove best of the remainder with experience, who have only shown modest form so far, but Resiliency is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
