Milton Bradley sets a poser here, saddling veterans The Tatling and Cape Royal as well as the penalised Colourbearer. Any of the three are capable of landing this at their best but TWO TURTLE DOVES may still have a bit of scope over the minimum trip and Michael Mullineaux's mare is fancied to confirm recent running over C&D with the last-named of the Bradley trio on more favourable terms and also finish ahead of Riflessione again. She gets 7lb from Adventure Story, who is climbing the weights again despite not winning, and makes more appeal than Catalinas Diamond and the disappointing Bookiesindex Boy.
