BELLE LE GRAND (1) returns after a spell of three months. Opened the last campaign with a solid third in a 3150m bumper at Ascot, beaten 4.5 lengths. Overall first-up record reads well, with two placings from four runs. Expecting she will be fully wound-up for this. LAST NOTE (2) debuted on the flat last start and was friendless in betting but surprised most, beaten 3.5 lengths into second at Fakenham over 3200m. Leader player. ALVESTA (5) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding one better at her first attempt in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon over two weeks ago, beaten 2.75 lengths. Sound prospects once again. SHARP GLANCE (4) tackles the jumps for the first time. Last raced when she finished sixth in a bumper over 3200m at Uttoxeter on March 15. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of her career.
