VALLEY BELLE has been raised 9lb after winning easily over track and trip a fortnight ago. But today’s opposition inspire little confidence and Phil McEntee’s filly should still make another bold bid. Hanakotoba won at Kempton last month but never figured over the minimum trip on her latest start and The Galla Girl has been well beaten in both subsequent outings since winning a seller in September. Capala, Ifyoudontmind and Dandy Lad have all been competing over 5f though the latter was placed over today’s trip during the summer and has slipped down the weights
