David Elsworth won this a year ago and Elusive Flame hasn't been beaten far in her last two starts over the C&D. ULTRASONIC made a winning debut on quick ground in September but has been mainly kept to softer going subsequently. It was testing when she won over 6f in style here last week but looked a very progressive filly in the process and this looks well within her compass. Instance hasn't had much racing but has managed to win half of her six starts and though never into the action on her reappearance at York she found 6f too sharp and this is more her trip and track. David Barron wastes no time in bringing out Shesastar under a penalty after her narrow victory at Doncaster on Thursday though this looks a bit tougher while there was obviously something amiss with I'm So Glad on her hat-trick bid at Pontefract and her stable has struck form with a vengeance. The three-year-olds Riot Of Colour and Miss Azeza have both been in good form and are worth noting in an interesting handicap.
