FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Nothing stands out on form in a field of exposed types and a tentative vote goes to the well-drawn ALEX BELARDO. The Belardo gelding finds it hard to get his head in front but ran several good races in defeat here over the winter and will benefit from his capable rider’s 7lb claim. He was behind a couple of these over 7f last time, but this trip will suit better. Kitty Bear goes well for Orla Tynan and can contend again, while Punk Poet hasn’t been at his best of late but is well handicapped as a result. Dead-heaters for third over a longer trip last week, Star Mind and Palazzo Persico are players as well. %0A%0A
