Formscan - BITS BALLOU showed resolution and stamina to get up late at Newton Abbot to win by a short-head last month. Upped 2lb for that, she has only had six career starts and gets the vote with the promise of more victories to come. Alan Bresil is interesting on his best form, having placed off 6lb higher in a better race in May, and first-time blinkers could see him back to that level. Black Occ is the pick for third.
