Gordon Elliott’s BRAID BLUE is accumulating penalties but keeps winning and is three from three around here. The step up to 3m at Ffos Las last time proved no problem and he makes more appeal than chaser Indian Temple and exposed handicapper Little Millie, who is having a first run for George Bewley after a break. Forresters Park doesn’t often complete.
