Bella Ragazza easily beat the frustrating Hunni at Goodwood in August with a subsequent run coming in a Group 3 at Longchamp. Back in handicap company. Hughie Morrison’s grey looks the main threat to MOVE SWIFTLY (NAP). The latter was well backed at York last time when chasing a hat-trick but the drop back to 7f meant she ran out of time in trying to pick off Crossing The Line. She’s back over her best trip today and can defy a further 4lb rise. Qazyna won over course and distance at the start of the season and has been lightly raced since. She’s had wind surgery since last seen at Ascot in June and it would be no surprise to see her run well but Clubbable is best over 7f and Homeopathic looks held by the selection on York running.
