Belle Bayardo is closely matched with Richard Hannon's Admirable Spirit on running at Chester last month and there should not be much between the pair today but it is hard to get away from KRYPTON FACTOR, who can win his second race of the week. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding was good value for his win over five furlongs in a nursery at Beverley two starts ago and followed up in good fashion in the same grade at Epsom on Wednesday when racing off a mark of 89. He can complete a hat-trick back over the minimum trip receiving weight from Belle Bayardo. Remotelinx has struggled in a couple of valuable sales races in his last two starts for John Hills but may do better in this grade, while Gary Moore's Jerrazzi is unexposed after just two outings.
