        Verdict

        Placed five times in six starts this year, Bellajeu is weighted to beat Arrowtown and Draco's Code on these terms. But the latter was fourth at Kempton last time behind EMIRATES COMFORT, a close-up third on her racecourse debut and expected to improve with that experience under her belt. Rebel Collins was also a long way behind the selection last time but Several shaped well enough on his introduction at Kempton without threatening the winner and could prove a danger.
