    Verdict

    Bella Boy Zee is out to get the losses back and is the pick over Lizhar and Emaradia. Having made her debut in last year's Brocklesby, Bella Boy Zee went on to land three races for three different trainers, including her current handler Paul Blockley. She left the yard to join David Nicholls but after a spell with Russ Wilman is back at her old stomping ground, and was very strongly fancied at Southwell a fortnight ago, finding one too good in Head Of State. The drop down to selling company should ensure that she makes a bold bid to get the losses back here. Her main rival Lizhar has the assistance of Jamie Spencer, while Emaradia has twice been successful when dropped to this level and looks best of the rest. With an apprentice on board to take off a useful five pounds, Bella Boy Zee is the one to beat and is a fairly confident selection.
