Verdict
Belle De Manech was engaged in the 3.05 Bangor yesterday so this could end up a match between old rivals Pink Legend and ZAMBELLA. The pair met in a Listed race at Warwick last season and the latter came out on top by more than 10 lengths. She is 5lb better off now so should confirm the form even though Venetia Williams’ mare was on a going day at Leicester last month.
