This is tight with the two at the head of the weights offering similar profiles - both are bang in form, both carry a 6lb penalty and both are hat-trick seeking after displaying significant improvement of late. Neither should have any issue with conditions and UGO GREGORY is given a narrow vote as he's better drawn of the pair and his hold-up tactics could prove well suited to a fast-run race. Bedtime Bella strode home the last day in the style of a major improver but it's far from a two-horse affair to say the least with the lightly-raced Mina Velour expected to progress again after just four runs and the consistent Macs Blessings and Kolossus also noted.
