The short-listed three in the opener are Dresden Doll, Liberty Belle and Pixie's Blue, with the selection being Liberty Belle. You can build a case for just about all of these runners and the betting might prove helpful to you. Aberavon is related to some fair winners, including Nota Bene; Danamight cost 54,000 euros; Dea Caelestis hails from Henry Cecil's in-form yard and has likeable breeding; Dresden Doll is a half-sister to, among others, Crimplene; Geestring hails from Richard Hannon's powerful stable; Liberty Belle finished fifth in a fair Listed race on her racecourse debut, so she must be held in some regard; John Dunlop runs Night Skier; Pixie's Blue improved on a fair debut run to be just touched off over course and distance last time; Relinquished is well-related and hails from the yard of Jeremy Noseda. See what we mean? Watch the market but the vote goes to Liberty Belle.
