This four-runner seller ought to go to Bella Beguine, with Mizhar possibly being the one for the forecast. The Alan Bailey-trained selection comes out comfortably the best of these on official ratings and, holding fairly-recent course form, seems to have been found a good opportunity by her astute handler. Mizhar has won here, albeit over five furlongs, but has proven that he stays seven, and, as we say, could be the one for the forecast. Chandelier has been disappointing overall since winning over a mile on Lingfield's Polytrack in January of last year, while Fine Frenzy has not won since her juvenile days and has recently been beaten in sellers on the Flat and over hurdles. Overall, then, in a weak affair, the vote goes to Bella Beguine.
