Elusive Flash is bound to be popular after a promising debut spin at Ascot but is unlikely to be much of a price so Paul Cole's filly may be best watched and preference is for Lady Grace, who gets the vote over the newcomer Sass Cafe and Seven Steps. The selection was doing all of his best work late on here over six furlongs on his debut last week and should appreciate the step up to seven furlongs today. A market move for Mick Channon's Bonnie Meggs would be of interest, while Tim Pitt's Sass Cafe is well bred and could be anything. Nashharry would need to improve on the form of her debut run and of more interest may be Seven Steps. Runners from the yard of John Hills normally improve with racing so she can be expected to step up on what she showed at Sandown first time out. Lady Grace took the eye on her debut though and is taken to open her account here.
