WOULDUBEWELL has been thereabouts over shorter trips since scoring over 3m2f at Fontwell in December. She gets another chance in this though Schiaparannie is another likely to appreciate this return to a longer distance having faced tough tasks in Listed races lately. Belle De Manech ran well over these fences before finishing a distant second to the higher-rated Zambella at Uttoxeter and is preferred to Methodtothemadness in this grade.
