Bramshill Lass should do better back over a more suitable longer trip while Norfolk Sky and Sir Dylan are closely matched on recent running at Kempton where the former came out best. Lady Bellatrix won over C&D in October but reverted to type with a poor effort last time and Dewala is preferred as she has the beating of Neil's Pride and has gone close to winning on her last couple of starts. However, another chance goes to GUARDA PAMPA as the 115,000-euros purchase gave the impression this longer trip would suit when fourth at Kempton on her recent handicap debut.
