Verdict
It's difficult to make a decent case for any of these. JERSEY BELLE patently didn't stay the mile trip at Salisbury last time but gets a token vote on her best efforts over 6f. Black Pudding won a lowly seller at Ripon last time but is harder to fancy back in a handicap while Chilworth Bells and Lady Jade were both placed in a selling company earlier in the year.
