Hathfa finished just ahead of Bithynia when runner-up at Wolverhampton and that pair are closely matched. The latter has subsequently placed at over track and trip. Bellevarde has a shout on these terms as she drops back in distance but so does the less exposed MITIGATE. The latter finished ahead of Cherry Leyf and Ginger Truffle on her earlier debut and didn’t seem to stay the 7f here last time. A half-sister to a winner in France, Scala Regia is preferred to Berryessa of the newcomers.
