Verdict
ISABELONABICYCLE, Wild Rhubarb and Colourful Move catch the eye here, with Isabelonabicycle taken to supplement a game win last time. Clive Cox has his string in excellent form and he saddles Wild Rhubarb here, who has run with great credit to date, placed in all three starts. The step up in trip looks sure to suit, and a bold showing is expected though she is a touch one paced. Colourful Move has made steady progress and underlined that with a good win on the all-weather recently. That looked an ordinary affair however, and he may be found wanting here. Isabelonabicycle was placed in all three starts before landing a Folkestone handicap in fine style last time. She looks progressive, is game and genuine, and Isabelonabicycle looks set to run her rivals into the ground.
