Verdict

BIBLE BELT has the highest rating here and comfortably the best form. Jessica Harrington's charge was in superb form at this time a year ago winning a handicap, a Listed contest and a Grade 3 before finishing runner-up to Dancing Rain in a Group 2 over the C&D in October. That form would be good enough for this and she'll be better for her run in the Tattersalls Gold Cup in May. Soft conditions bring out the best in Dorcas Lane though she did manage to win a Listed contest on fast going over 1m2f here last May. She ran well for a long way on her return at Haydock and looks a threat. Set To Music has progressed from handicaps to win twice at this level and acts on any going. She wasn't quite up to Group 2 class at Haydock last time but this is her grade. Elas Diamond looked a nice prospect in 2010 and a long absence is rarely a problem for one of Jeremy Noseda's.
