NO NAY BELLA (NAP) swept into the lead inside the final furlong to return a ready winner over track and trip. There looks more to come over today’s distance and Marco Botti’s filly looks worth sticking with. Culture missed out on a hat-trick in a claimer in France having landed a double here before that while Andaleep has been hurdling but recorded a double over 1m2f at Sandown earlier and is fitted with a tongue-tie today. Big Country has tumbled down the weights and showed signs of a resurgence at Chelmsford last time.
