James Doyle rates as a strong booking for KING OF THE KIPPAX and Michael Bell’s gelding dropped a big hint at Leicester last Monday. Rushford has been campaigned in typical Sir Mark Prescott fashion and he is sure to be winning races once he learns how to settle. Greatness Awaits handles the going albeit his best performances last year obtained on a softer surface. La Belle Vie has been hanging right handed in recent races yet her latest outing at Nottingham saw her attracting a degree of market confidence.
