Cases can be made for several, but at forecast longer odds BELLA BLUESKY gets the nod to double her tally at this track from her tumbling mark arriving on the back of a breathing operation. Eloi du Puy has been placed on all 3 starts in handicaps, so Nick Alexander's 5-y-o is feared most making his return, with Cartmel-scorer Secret Secret another fancied to be in the shake-up.
