Another tricky race for punters to call but Bella Bertolini, Forces Sweetheart and Queen's Night look the trio to concentrate on with the vote given to Bella Bertolini. The selection was well beaten on her debut at Windsor but left that form behind with a much improved effort last time at Sandown when a good second behind Cape of Luck. She got checked when she was making her move that day so may have been an unlucky loser and as she is clearly going the right way she looks the one to be with. Forces Sweetheart was beaten by the potentially useful Waterline Twenty last time and she is not one to dismiss lightly. This quicker surface will suit and it would be no surprise if she gives our selection plenty to think about. Queen's Night is an interesting newcomer from the Mick Channon yard and she is a half-sister to a 2-year-old 5f winner so she is certainly one to note in the market on her debut. Proxenia is another to catch the eye on breeding and she is also worth a second look in the market, but we will stick with the experience of Bella Bertolini here who is taken to get her head in front.
