        slowly into stride, always behind

        In depth

        Verdict

        Pretty Sister, Eliminator and Off Message are the ones to consider here, and Pretty Sister is taken to fulfil her debut promise. Ed Dunlop's Off Message is bred to be an Oaks winner, being a daughter of In The Wings out of a classy mare and she could be anything. This belated racecourse debut does not bode well though, and she should be watched in the market. Eliminator was an inexpensive purchase but ran with quality in maidens at Ripon and Doncaster last summer. He disappointed at Ayr in June and has been off the course since and is stepped up in trip. He has ability and can't be ruled out. After a decent staying on third on her debut, Pretty Sister was slowly away next time and never got into the race. Given a sharper start this time, Willie Haggas' filly can lead them home.
