In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in what looks a tight handicap. Social Rhythm scored nicely at Ayr last week when beating the re-opposing Oddysey three lengths and should be thereabouts again despite a penalty. Indian Giver is also penalised for her recent victory at Redcar while ELEGANT FLIGHT is upped 5lb for her defeat of the consistent Henry Allingham at York last month. Further progress is expected here, however, and Alan Jarvis' filly may just edge out her main rivals. Soft ground may have been an excuse for previous Wolverhampton winner Grey Seal running a shocker at Yarmouth and it's too soon to write off Voice From Above, a disappointing favourite at Redcar last week.
