Verdict
BELLE DE FONTENAY got found out in handicap company last time but had earlier rattled up a hat-trick in sellers. This isn't much better and, as she's been entered on a lowly mark, George Baker's mare can get back to winning ways. Not Til Monday may be the danger as he has his sights lowered after finishing in mid-division in a handicap over course and distance last month. Bin End and Vexillum also have a chance at the weights but Seattle Drive, successful twice on the Flat this year, appears to be going backwards over timber.
