STRAWBERRY BELLE returns to this level with every chance having been caught close home in a handicap at Newbury last time as she’s weighted to beat Tessa. Sigmund represents last year’s winning yard but failed to land the odds at Newcastle last month. Royal Athena drops down in trip after finishing third in soft going at Hamilton while Style Of Life is related to several winners and Bonkersinabundance is another newcomer to note.
