Scored by 4 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; raced too freely last time, 3lb lower here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface, goes well off front; mark easing, needs to settle.

Verdict
LA BELLE FOREST has already made up into a better three-year-old and was professional in getting the job done over C&D on her return to the fray. An initial mark of 72 looks very workable as she moves into handicap company. Alfa Duplicate supplemented her track-and-trip defeat of Call Margot when digging deep at Newcastle, while Naana's Shadow has joined the Katie Scott team and should have plenty more to offer in 2026.
Expert View Verdict
CALL MARGOT is progressing and ran really well given that she failed to settle last time. Obviously it would help if she dropped the bit here but she is likely to contend whatever and may represent a bit of value. Alfa Duplicate is a major threat. She is also on an upward trajectory improving to defy a 7lb rise in the weights last time. La Belle Forest has run three decent races, getting off the mark here last time and should figure on her handicap debut.
