BOLLIN DOLLY has been on fine form since returning after nearly two years out and we think Tim Easterby's charge has more to offer and give her the nod here over another inform animal in Spring Secret while Elk Trail should be suited by conditions and could run in a place at a price. Two wins from three starts is the record of the selection since her return form that lengthy absence and on the pick of her old form is still well treated. We suggest she has more to offer given her light campaign and she has hinted she'll act in these conditions in the past. Spring Secret is on the top of his game at present and ran well under a penalty to find just one too good last time so under a similar burden here is likely to feature. Elk Trail has been running well in some novice hurdle events winning twice and retuned to the level last time by placing off this mark. The conditions are ideal for this one and place claims at least are in the offing. Eastern Hills and Take it Easee are two more to consider under workable ratings but we feel Bollin Dolly still has more to offer this season.
