FormscanBy Michael Graham - BACK TO BRUSSELS is virtually impossible to oppose on official ratings. She holds a lofty mark of 102 and the nearest to her is Independent Missy on 82. Back To Brussels won a fillies’ maiden on debut at Navan in April last year and, crucially, that was on yielding ground. Since that victory, she has continuously hunted black-type and indeed picked up some when half a length runner-up in a Listed race over course and distance in July. When last seen, she was beaten less than two lengths into fifth in a Group 3 at the Curragh which has to give her an outstanding chance against this opposition. Independent Missy was a close fourth in a good handicap at Dundalk and has a maiden victory in her locker from Fairyhouse in June 2019. Boundless Power wasn’t at his best when weakening out of contention on soft ground at Naas on Sunday.
