In depth
Verdict
Those that have already raced over this far have proved less than convincing. That includes Blue Beret and Omany Amber though the latter landed a double over a mile earlier in the year. But pedigree suggests this extra distance should suit BELAFONTE, who posted his best effort so far at Kempton last time and any further progress should see Jonathan Portman's charge go close. Her Way also steps up in trip now handicapping for the first time.
