        Verdict

        Difficult to be confident about the chances of any of these. BELLE BOLEYN's fifth at Warwick last time looks the best piece of recent form and a repeat of her second at Lingfield in October would be enough to see Chris Wall's filly land this. Bussell Along finished runner-up at Bath recently, but she's still without a win in 20 starts, while Lion Road has scope for improvement on only his fourth outing and could figure. Royal Defence continues to slip down the weights without showing any improvement and the rest are hard to fancy.
