Verdict
Estelle Ma Belle managed just one run for Willie Mullins, finished second in a Galway maiden in August of last year, but a switch to Paul Nicholls is hardly a negative. The going was heavy when Rose Of Arcadia when a maiden point and also when she landed a Taunton bumper so connections will have been praying for rain. Lady Of The Night has had wind surgery since her second at Huntingdon in March but bookmakers may be tempted to underestimate BELLEVARDE EXPRESS, whose last run in a bumper came in Listed company. She’d won well at Doncaster earlier and is bred for jumping.
