Verdict

BELA SONATA has an absence to overcome but she showed an excellent change of pace to land a Newbury handicap in good style in July and is still unexposed after just 4 career starts, so she's an appealing candidate. Stateira was no match for a big improver at Southwell on her most recent outing but could still have more to offer if her enthusiasm can be channelled the right way, with Irish-raider Nikki Swango completing the shortlist.

  1. BELA SONATA
  2. STATEIRA (FR)
  3. NIKKI SWANGO (IRE)
