      Verdict

      The eye is drawn to progressive three-year-olds as we move into the time of year when they take on their elders. Pempie is improving with racing and should do so again after landing a small classified contest here last time but another course and distance winner in BELLA VITA makes greater appeal. A Lingfield maiden winner, she followed up by landing a £12,000 handicap here in some style and faces similar conditions now. The form reads well and she can complete the hat-trick. It looks a tough ask for those at the head of the weights but She Believes looks best of the older brigade having posted two wins and a rather unlucky fourth on her last three starts.
