Verdict

A number of these have rather lost their way lately but Miss Ella Jade is still heading in the right direction judged on her victory over C&D last week and should make a bold bid to shrug off her 6lb penalty. Al Jabreiah is back on the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton in April and is another for the short-list while Jay Kay ran his best race so far at Chester last month. PASSIONADA was entitled to need her run at Haydock in May and her pedigree suggests she'll relish this step up in trip. There's just a chance that David Barron's filly is a bit better than this grade and she gets the vote to defy top weight with Exclusive Dancer possibly the pick of the remainder.
