Verdict

It's easy to put a line through most of these with only Bold Diva achieving a winning run in the last three runs. Tallawalla was a 62,000 guineas purchase but has never fulfilled potential whilst Lucas Pitt looks like a mile will suit given that his performances have improved with each increase in trip so far. Fiancee has progressed with each run so far this year and stayed on when last seen here over seven furlongs. BELLE PARK gets the vote after a narrow second behind Gee Major at Bath. A relatively weak affair for the opener which can go the way of Karen George's entry, especially with Kieren Fox usefully claiming 5lbs off her back.
