Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBelle Amie has taken two of her last five starts and is building nicely, most recently landing a handicap at Bath with something to spare — she is effective over today's distance and is respected off her new mark. Green Team took a Wolverhampton handicap last time and is respected back on turf with a visor; Seventy is in excellent form under a penalty and the conditions suit. Belle Amie is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Belle Amie
