In depth
Verdict
MISS ELEGANCE beat odds-on shot Dreams Of Dawn over C&D on her racecourse debut and is worth sticking with here. Brian Meehan's Mind Games filly need find only nominal improvement to follow-up on her handicap debut in this company. Nafa has a couple of lengths to find with the selection on latest running, but Dixie Gwalia finished second at Yarmouth on her reappearance and she looks a threat. Leicester winner Chester Deelyte posted a better effort last time and can figure along with Lady Excellentia.
