BRADFORD can get his head in front at the third time of asking here and he is preferred to Coloursoftheglen and Fonterutoli. Karl Burke's colt has shaped with promise on each of his two starts so far, progressing from his first run to chase home Refuse To Wait earlier in the month. He was doing his best work at the finish over 6f so this longer trip will suit and he looks the one to beat. Coloursoftheglen hails from the in form Tom Dascombe yard and he wasn't beaten far in a maiden at Lingfield last time. He had a poor draw that day so it was good effort and he is respected. Fonterutoli is poorly drawn today but Marco Botti's colt is another that will find this slightly longer trip to his liking after a promising run over 6f earlier in the month. Execution and Bandear are newcomers worth a market check, but Bradford looks progressive and he can shed his maiden tag.
