Second Collection has been doing well on the all-weather but is not as good on Turf on the evidence so far. Bellevarde was a winner here last month but is best over 5f while Heritage still seeks s first victory though, on collateral form, probably has the beating of Scintilating, who was highly tried last year after making a winning debut. BELATED BREATH won three times last season so is now on a career-high mark but there is nothing to say that Hughie Morrison’s tough filly won’t improve again this year.
