Annadown Belle has been in terrific form with a steadily improving sequence of results that culminated in a winning 63-rated effort last time out. An all-rounder who can sit handy or close late, and that versatility is valuable in a low-separation contest where the pace dynamics are uncertain. Drawn in a reasonable structural position from trap 6, and while the individual suitability scores are moderate, the distance suitability of 47 and track suitability of 41 are both solid enough. The A Herbert yard may not have a flashy strike rate but this dog is clearly running into peak form at the right time. The best speed rating in the field adds another string to the bow.
