Belle Vue best bets: Coolavanny Rebel among treble chance for Parker

That sets a clear standard in this line-up and Russanda Roslea has since gone on to score at Sheffield before finishing a highly creditable third at that venue last time out.

If reproducing her sectional of 4.26 on her previous visit she should be away and gone when rounding first bend.

Lots to like about Lightfoot Mikel

Parker looks to hold leading claims of landing a possible treble with the in-form Lightfoot Mikel in the 470m Standard at 21:48.

The dog has won five of his last seven starts and comes into the contest on the back of a hat-trick of successes over 500m at Sheffield.

Although this is his first run at the venue, Lightfoot Mikel is blessed with plenty of early pace and looks as if he will be ideally suited by the 470m circuit.

He should have enough early toe to clear Traps 1 and 2 and boss the inside, and if doing so is going to be very hard to contain if turning the first bend in front.

Affane Pale holds all the aces

Affane Pale ran a blinder when runner-up over course and distance last week and looks to hold outstanding claims of going one better in the 590m Belle Vue Midi (22:03).

John Thompson’s charge flashed from the traps and looked all over the winner until getting collared close home and beaten 1/2 a length by Barnside Chloe.

It was a taking six-bend debut at the venue, where he has won five of his 18 starts over the trip, and with a near 33 per cent strike rate when wearing the red jacket Affane Pale looks nicely drawn to crack out and make all.
