Something went amiss with BELLOSA in the Jersey Stakes at Ascot during the summer. She’d won a Listed race at Newmarket before that and may well prove too good for these on her handicap debut despite the absence. Mudlahhim won a lower grade contest over track and trip in August while May Night also faces a more difficult task having landed a double more recently. Diocles Of Rome had slipped back to a winning mark and won here last time while Corazon Espinado wasn’t beaten far when only fourth at Lingfield last month.
