      Verdict

      Now rated 95, Lingfield Oaks Trial runner-up Bellajeu managed to find one too good when odds-on in a maiden at Chester last time. It could pay to take her on again in this with the returning CLOWANCE ONE. The latter finished third to subsequent Group 3 runner-up Scottish over 1m2f here on his debut in May when also separating a couple of subsequent winners and that looks pretty solid form. Knight Of Wands is another likely improver having shown ability on his introduction at Haydock and Drago is a Cape Cross debutant worth a second glance.
