      Verdict

      ELEGANT ERIN seems to go from strength-to-strength and her latest victory over this track and trip was franked by the runner-up at Chester on Saturday. Havagomecca should be back in the winner’s enclosure before much longer judged on a recent second off this mark at Thirsk while Rhythm won off a higher mark last summer, though has yet to win for current connections. Esken Rose has had only three runs and won on debut here last year so looks best of the rest.
