Verdict

BELLA OPHELIA completed a C&D hat-trick earlier this month with her most impressive victory so far and is improving with every run. Hughie Morrison's filly is worth sticking with until beaten and should have no trouble confirming superiority with the re-opposing Ishiamiracle. Bookiesindexdotnet finished ahead of Wicked Wench at Kempton in December, though the latter is fancied to reverse running on this surface, but the biggest threat to the selection could come from Carlisle winner I'll Be Good. He makes his all-weather debut today but ended last season in fine form and there should be more to come this year.
