Verdict
CHARITY BELLE is the form choice to land this fillies handicap at the expense of Classic Legend and Onemix. The selection is one of the least experienced in the field having just two runs under her belt. She broke her maiden tag on her debut at Newcastle and was then thrown into the deep end at Newbury when finishing fourth of nine in a listed contest last time out. Now dropped into this grade she warrants plenty of respect. The same can be said about Classic Legend who won off a mark of 84 at Haydock last time out and although she has more on her plate this time around she should be in the shake up come the business end of the race. Onemix broke her maiden tag at Bath back in April and came close to winning off a mark of 75 at Windsor last time out when finishing second to Turjuman. She comes form the powerful stable of Barry Hills and once again has place claims, however for the winner we return to Charity Belle.
