Verdict
A competitive fillies' handicap with the possible exception of Iconic Belle, who has some improving to do. White Chocolate kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Salisbury and is on a hat-trick. She has only been raised 2lb but the value of that form is questionable. Berengaria makes a satisfactory return to action at Doncaster while Nathania got off the mark at Bath. Gallifrey won on her second start at Kempton in December and should stay this longer trip but MITTENS will likely improve on her third behind a subsequent winner at Pontefract and her dam did win on a similar surface.
