Bell Cleaning Handicap

Third at Windsor just 12 days ago, going down by only 2l off a mark 1lb higher than today's; he acts on a sound surface at this trip, the tongue-tie is new, and he arrives with consecutive placed efforts to his name — our top-rated and the one to beat.

Held on a fair mark but her form blows hot and cold; she went down the field at Bath most recently with nothing seemingly amiss and may have questions to answer — though she acts on this ground at the trip and a better showing is not out of the question.

Keen and flat when beaten 4 1/4l at Salisbury last time, and below his best for a while now despite a dropping mark; the cheekpieces are new today, he acts on any ground at this trip, but he sits at the foot of our ratings and more is needed.

Consistent through recent starts with a string of placed efforts, she went well early at Windsor last time before fading late on, beaten 4l; dropped 1lb and one who races more effectively off the pace, she acts on sound ground across a range of trips and is a clear threat.

Fourth at Bath last time, going under by 5l in a competitive effort, and she holds a fair mark at this trip which suits; she acts on fast ground and has been successful from this sort of rating, making her a realistic contender.
