Verdict
Elegant Ophelia won a couple of low grade affairs at Lingfield last month. But she's hard to fancy under a penalty up against a host of unexposed fillies. That includes another recent Lingfield winner in Bella Varenna while SLEEPER scored at Windsor last time. The latter won a higher class handicap than this and gets the vote to go in again. Upper Street has yet to threaten but goes handicapping for the first time along with Elpida and neither are easily dismissed. Shining Glitter wasn't far behind Grasped, who runs in the first race on the card, last time and is another to consider.
