Navene can land the finale at the expense of Loveinanelevator and Poppy's Rose. The selection runs off a six pound higher mark since winning at Yarmouth last time out. Prior to that she had been running well in defeat so deserved to get her head in front and that fact that she still looks to be improving she is difficult to oppose. Loveinanelevator caught the eye when third to Priti Fabulous at Kempton last time out. She is only lightly raced and could be coming to herself so is to be monitored in the betting market. As is Poppy's Rose who has now dropped to what looks like a winnable mark and has the ability to enter the frame once again. But for the winner we return to Navene.
