In depth
Verdict
BELLA KOPELLA has had three runs over the track and trip, scoring twice and beaten a neck in the other. She looks capable of defying a 4lb rise for last month‘s victory. Profitar Rules was well supported but finished last of five at Lingfield in January, the same day as The King‘s Men was well beaten in a maiden over this course and distance. Hidden Code has shown little but Aihawawi showed his first sign of ability on his final start at Kempton in November.
