Bellalou looks the obvious choice here and gets the verdict over Baileys Honour and Bongoali. Not many of these have any recent winning form but Neville Callaghan's filly did manage to get her head in front back in November, beating Missed Turn by a neck. It was in a seller but this isn't much better and with the runner up going close yesterday the form looks decent, and she can make it back to back victories. Baileys Honour wasn't beaten far behind Fair Along over course and distance last time and should be capable of making the frame here. Bongoali is steadily dropping down the weights and this looks a good opportunity for him to get at least some place money. Linzi's Lad is from a stable that has to be respected in such events, and they do attract money so keep an eye on the market. Dan's Heir may prove best of the remainder, but Bellalou is the form horse and gets the vote.
