Verdict
A very difficult start to the card and a narrow vote is given to Ellen's Girl, Mid Valley and Cape Of Storms could provide most danger. Brendan Powell's charge ran a much improved race last time when finishing a close up third behind the progressive Norwegian. She is very lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement, a big run is expected. Mid Valley has been running consistently well on the all-weather and he has to be a threat if he can transfer that form to the turf. Cape Of Storms is another all-weather specialist and he ran a great race last time behind Mon Petite Amour, a place beckons again this afternoon. Orphina and Chalice Welcome are two others worthy of a mention but we return to Ellen's Girl as our idea of the winner.
