Verdict

No shortage of chances in a competitive fillies' handicaps with QUEBELLA shading preference. Lightly raced this season, she left the distinct impression a stronger tempo would have suited when fourth at Bath 3 weeks ago and, expected to come on for that run, she looks interesting on her first crack at this trip. Hope Rising continues to go from strength-to-strength and is a lead danger in search of the 5-timer with Kissmehoneyhoney another who likely has a bigger effort in her locker.
