Formscan By Alan Magee - VANILLA BABY had Movin And Groovin, Kensington Hope, Romantic War and Star Allure all behind when runner-up to Tomarlo over course and distance last month. The Joseph O’Brien-trained filly subsequently didn’t enjoy a clear passage when finishing behind Movin And Groovin over 7f and two days later lost her chance at the start over 5f. Ado McGuinness’ charge is probably best suited by a longer trip while Bansha Belle and Brigadier Kakuru both try handicap company for the first time. The former ran well over this trip on debut while Brigadier Kakuru has also shown pace and Colin Keane is a significant booking.
