    Verdict

    A trappy finale can go the way of Elyaadi, with La Spezia and Ochre the others to consider. The selection is from a stable in red hot form and she ran well enough when chasing home Rambling Light here last time. She was well supported that day and she is clearly well-regarded by the Mick Channon stable and she should be up to winning this. La Spezia was a little disappointing when last seen at Redcar but the step-up in trip should suit her today. However, she has been off the track since September and she has never raced on the all-weather before so there are reasons to take her on today. Ochre was beaten a long way from home last time but to her credit she plugged-on so she has a good attitude but she may prove better over slightly further. Elyaadi looks the pick here and gets the vote.
