Formscan  - ISLA BELLA's recent third at Wolverhampton can be upgraded as she failed to get a clear run. Joey Ramsden's filly looks worthy of another chance with normal luck in-running and she gets the vote. Lion Ring landed one of these events last time. However, the runner-up My Turn Now was beaten only a neck and the six-year-old may well improve past him.
