Verdict
Bellevue Lad, one of a handful of three-year-olds tackling their elders, displayed significant improvement when scoring over course and distance last month. He's still only rated 50 and Paul Mulrennan is booked so a double is not out of the question. Fellow three-year-old Avior Star was back in better form last time at this venue but still has work to do to turn things around with RAIN CAP, who appeared to relish the move back up to 7f and scored quite comfortably in the end. He's been hit with a 9lb rise but his previous mark of just 43 probably underestimated his ability and he can follow up. Monaadhil, third that day, should also be in the mix again.
