This looks a three-horse race on paper, with Camden Bella taken to get the better of Diklers Rose and Sportula. Camden Bella has not done a lot wrong in three career outings, having opened her account in a Bangor bumper back in May, and then only losing out close home to Air Of Affection on her hurdles debut at Sedgefield in November. With hindsight she would have needed that run, and losses should be retrieved now with that under her belt. Diklers Rose is well-bred for the game, being a daughter of Roselier out of a Deep Run mare. Keith Reveley's charge seemed suited by the step up in trip when a close second at Doncaster last time and should again be there or thereabouts, while Sportula plugged on well when second in heavy ground at Newcastle. She needs to step up a gear though to trouble the selection, which is Camden Bella.
