BELLARCHI is in top form after a win at Catterick and solid efforts at York and Chester, suggesting his current mark is with in his compass. Yaaser has an excellent Musselburgh record so he commands serious respect, while low-mileage 3-y-o Far Above Dream steps back up in trip and they may unlock more.
