Verdict
MISS ELSA has struggled in handicaps recently but has gone close in novice company on more than one occasion in the past and may prove good enough in this. Philipine Cobra has placed the last twice now but has been well beaten both times while Mrs Discombe went backwards last time having finished third at Nottingham on her debut. Casarubina finished closer without threatening on her latest start and the 500,000gns purchase Chil Chil will likely improve though needs to after a modest debut effort at Wolverhampton.
