      In depth

      Verdict

      Bellajeu has been placed in maiden company of late but has returned a losing favourite on her last three starts now. BAREFOOT DANCER looks a more reliable option after going close in a Class 4 handicap over 1m5f at Kempton and Michael Bell's charge gets the vote back at this level. Nigel continues to disappoint and ran a shocker at Ripon last time but Scarlet Minstrel hails from a yard in form and didn't run badly at Goodwood.
