Draco's Code has returned a losing favourite in all four starts in bumpers and on the Flat. Bellajeu has followed suit and found one too good on her last couple of outings though she sets a decent standard with a handicap mark of 88. Ballynanty showed some ability when placed at Chepstow on his debut while Moderah could get involved with any further improvement as she steps up in trip. But INDIAN MONSOON should also prove suited to this greater test of stamina after a fourth over 1m2f in an Ascot maiden and Sir Michael Stoute's colt may prove good enough in a tight contest.
