Formscan - WEST BALBOA was pulled out at Newbury last weekend but, if allowed to take her chance here, then she gets the vote. She was a most impressive winner on her UK debut at Warwick last year and was then pitched into Grade 1 company at Newbury when second to Stage Star. Coquelicot made all to win nicely at Ascot a fortnight ago and warrants respect, as does the unexposed Plenty Of Time, who is having her first run for Gay Kelleway.
