Triple Nickle has been in action on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. He doesn’t look badly treated here, especially taking into account his rider’s claim, but INCE’s run at Market Rasen can be ignored and he seems to like sharp tracks on which he can dominate from the front. Galah clearly needed her run here in July and Little Jessture is becoming something of a course specialist while Belle Na Bann is not out of this having got off the mark at Fontwell last month.

Belle Na Bann (IRE) 15-2 (10-2) Prominent, pushed along before 2 out, ridden and chased leader approaching last, kept on well to lead run-in, edged left towards finish, won at Fontwell 2m 2f hcp (5) gd in Aug beating Fire Lake (12-1) by 1l, 6 ran.
