Bella Brazil, a winner over 7f at Kempton in November, was headed in the final strides from a 5lb higher mark at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and has never raced over this trip. PINK JAZZ was sent to Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and stayed on strongly after leading 2f out. He's only 2lb higher so looks the one to beat. Jm Barrie wasn't far behind subsequent winner Eglish a fortnight ago with Flower Garland a length away in fifth. The former looks a threat and easily holds Varna Gold on that run.
