The one who makes most appeal is CADEAU BELLE, who followed up her debut success in the manner of a most progressive filly in a listed event at Navan last month. She can extend her unbeaten record to 3, perhaps at the expense of Random Harvest, who ought to find life easier back down in grade. Ameynah hasn't been seen for well over a year, but her yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and she is clearly well regarded given her Group 1 entries.
