In depth

Verdict

Noble Asset didn't appear to last out 6f on soft ground last time and is better judged on a short-head defeat by Skye's The Limit at Catterick but KIRTLING BELLE had shown some ability before landing a Newcastle nursery where she had a bit in hand at the finish. A 4lb rise looks manageable and she can follow up as it was only a seller that stablemate Kano's Ghirl won here a fortnight ago. Fuel Injection easily won a Ripon nursery in this class and wasn't disgraced in a better race at Beverley while One Boy wasn't too far behind the selection at Newcastle.
