Verdict

ELUSIVE SUE, Suzi's a Smartlady and Chushka make the shortlist here with Elusive Sue the selection. Chushka is a newcomer from the Bryan Smart camp, and a half sister to a useful type, and by Pivotal she will appreciate the cut in the ground and can go well. Mark Johnston's juveniles do usually improve for their debut experience and although Suzi's a Smartlady was a disappointment at Lingfield, it would be no surprise to see her in the shake up here-she is a half sister to a multiple sprint winner. Elusive Sue looks the safest proposition however. She was out of her depth at York on debut, but shaped to much better effect when a staying on second recently. Elusive Sue is clearly learning with experience and can make it third time lucky here.
