In depth
Verdict
GENTLE ELLEN has done all her winning over 6f so far including on soft ground at Hamilton last time but this is a weak contest and she gets another chance over this extra distance. Lechro struggled upped to 2m last month and won over 1m4f at Beverley earlier while Mawada may do better on her second outing after wind surgery and Happier attempts today’s trip for the first time.
