Verdict

Miss Mo Brown Bear represents last year’s winning stable and is preferred to Richard Hannon’s other runner That's My Girl on her latest third at Doncaster. The Love Doctor has also been knocking on the door while Alaska has run respectably at Windsor and Ascot since getting off the mark at Brighton. BRANSCOMBE never figured in a higher grade at York last time but wouldn’t be the first Mark Johnston juvenile to bounce back from a poor run in a nursery. He won at Sandown last month so the extra furlong here shouldn’t be a problem.
