Mighty Duchess was second between the flags at Borris House in December. The winner was third in a bumper at Southwell earlier this week so she is worth a second look. Chosen Hero won at Wetherby in January with a subsequent run coming in a higher grade at Ayr. Ludlow second Bethka was also highly tried next time at Ascot but we’ll give another chance to STRONG BELLE in the hope that she settles better than on her second start at Huntingdon.
