        Verdict

        Beepeecee has struggled since going up 6lb for scoring at Chelmsford in October while Noble Ballad has been unable to cope with a 4lb rise for his narrow Southwell victory. BELL HEATHER has gained both of her all-weather victories on this track and though she was well beaten in a better race than this in November she was impeded at a crucial stage and the run is best ignored. She gets the vote in a race where nothing stands out. Bush Beauty hasn't won for a very long time and shows no sign of returning to form despite a big drop in the ratings.
