Verdict

BELLATRIXSA drops back over a mile in distance but is improving plenty and it's easy to see her bossing her rivals from the front again. Credo made all in a C&D mares' maiden 3 weeks ago and could ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way. Marta des Mottes has been given a chance by the handicapper back over hurdles.
