This is anybody's race with only 2lb separating these on handicap ratings. Elle Shade was up against higher-rated horses when only sixth at Nottingham while Farletti was not beaten far when fourth at Windsor and GLENEELY GIRL finished even closer when occupying the same position at Thirsk. The latter gets a token vote but Shell Bay is not out of this with Cam Hardie's allowance in her favour, Charlton Heights will have come on for a recent outing and Little Riggs can be given a chance on last year's form.
