In depth
Verdict
Few can be seriously fancied in a weak affair and Bella Boy Zee is just preferred ahead of Are You There, Tanara and Alizar. Phil McEntee's filly has been progressing along the right lines and showed a willing attitude to land a fair Warwick maiden last time. There should be more to come from this likeable type who can take advantage of a drop in grade from a favourable high draw. Are You There is another improving type who has to be feared on her latest victory at Southwell while Tanara and Alizar both shaped promisingly on their respective debuts and should be sharper but have a little to find with the selection.
