In depth
Verdict
Colonial Style can prove the best of Tim Easterby's duo and beat Belly Dancer and Moon Mischief into the bargain. Colonial Girl has shown enough on her two runs to date to suggest that she can open her account if adapting to the all-weather surface. The daughter of Desert Style has been a bit outpaced at both Thirsk and Nottingham, and although she will come into her own when stepped up in trip in due course, she can pay to follow here as long as Dave Allan puts her about her business sooner rather than later. Belly Dancer was a beaten favourite on her Leicester introduction but shaped well enough in sixth and has an entry in the St Leger Yearling Stakes at Doncaster. She should go well along with Moon Mischief, as Nick Littmoden's juveniles have come to themselves now. An interesting opener can go to Colonial Girl.
