Verdict
Elusive Belle has won over and fences and has a touch of class. She was third in a Grade 2 over the larger obstacles at Kempton over Christmas, though was no match for the first two. But this looks at the mercy of TOMORROW MYSTERY, a winner on Tapeta in her younger days and successful in three of her last five starts over hurdles. Bellevarde Express hasn’t taken to hurdles and she should appreciate having no obstacles to negotiate today given she won a bumper at Doncaster just over a year ago. Vienna Court has become disappointing but may still be best of the rest.
