In depth

Verdict

The lightly raced pair of Dreaming of You and Citrine Spirit both warrant respect coming from the stables of Sir Michael Stoute and John Gosden respectively but are difficult to evaluate and preference is for the proven handicap form of Michelle Ma Belle. The selection had little chance from stall one at Folkestone last time but has faired better with the draw here and, with Sylvester Kirk's horses showing signs of running into form now, she looks worth a bet. Gary Moore's Cheese 'n Biscuits ran better last time but needs to improve again to win this and a bigger threat may come from Florida Heart, provided that she is fit enough to do herself justice. The three-year-old Keeper's Lodge is likely to improve for her recent reappearance, as most of Bryan McMahon's horses have done this term and is another worthy of a mention. Strategy and Mythical Charm are others worthy of consideration but for the vote we go for Michelle Ma Belle.
