Curragh on the agenda for Bella

Michael Jarvis believes softer ground at the Curragh later this month would enable Vista Bella get closer to her 1000 Guineas conqueror Virginia Waters.

Vista Bella was beaten three lengths into third place by the Aidan O’Brien-trained winner in the UltimatePoker.com-sponsored Classic at Newmarket on Sunday, on what was only the third race of her career.
