HANDBELL probably achieved little with victory in a maiden here last month but she did it easily and there should be plenty more to come now she's got her head in front. Just Marion carries a penalty for winning a Thirsk seller and is thoroughly exposed but You're My Cracker is worth another try over this trip having been staying on over shorter at Bath recently. A win for either Lady Estella or Dat Il Do would be a surprise judged on recent efforts.
