Verdict
Swiss Bond probably ran better than expected at Newbury and this is a weaker contest. Bacchalot is a likely improver and Forced is getting closer but Lili Wen Fach already looks exposed. Bettys Hope has finished second in each of her three runs but she’s not really improving. FALDETTA is a speedily-bred half-sister to three winners and may be good enough to make a winning start, though she changed hands for only 13,000gns in the autumn.
