BOY THE BELL bids for his hat-trick after wins at Ripon and Newcastle respectively. He ran out a cosy winner last time and, with amateur pilot Harriet Bethell having won a race only last week for Brian Ellison, can go in again here. Dispol Grand won a similar event at Leicester recently under Wendy Gibson and they should make another bold bid, though they only got the better of today's rival Two Turtle Doves by a neck. Tournedos has claims in this company, but Royal Blade has a bit to find with the selection on earlier running.
