Verdict
Boy The Bell has solid form in handicaps and comes into this with every chance, while Cootehill Lass was second in a better race over C&D last month and has a good record at this lower level. Layla Jamil and Tro Nesa both have the past form to figure but neither has shown much sparkle recently while Dimaire and Flying Phoenix need to improve again on places in a seller over C&D earlier this month. REGENCY ART will be all the better for a pipe-opener at Catterick following a long absence. He was a promising juvenile two years ago and this is his first appearance at this lowly level so he gets the nod.
