Verdict

ELEGANT ERIN has been threatening to get her head back in front in tougher sprints than this including when third over track and trip last time. Count D'Orsay finished behind the selection here while May Blossom ran below par at Thirsk last month when bidding for a hat-trick. The consistent Sera Dawn could be in the mix once again but Mojomaker drops down in trip.
