No problems at the start as Lysander Belle delivers impressive success

Lysander Belle left the stalls problems that have blighted her early career behind her as she breezed clear to win the opening 6f handicap under Shane Kelly.

The three-year-old filly, who as recently as Monday dented her chances after an awkward start at Chelmsford, broke well from stall two and quickened off the home turn to put a length and a half between herself and favourite Perfect Swiss.

Trainer Sophie Leech, who was celebrating her first Flat winner of the year, said: "She's taken a bit of time to grow up but if she does break you can get her going forward and that seems to be the key – she doesn't like being dropped in at all.
