Bella Nouf was only beaten half-a-length when favourite on her reappearance at Nottingham and will be fancied to go one better. Libbard may not have stayed 1m4f at Newmarket and dropping back in distance should help. Tetratina appears to be improving with experience while there should be more to come from Rose Above this year following her fourth in a maiden at Newmarket in August that has worked out well. OVERHEARD also caught the eye on debut at HQ in April, staying on strongly after running green in the early stages. She has another quarter-mile to cover here and can find the necessary improvement to get off the mark.
