La Sioux won last year’s renewal and has scored twice again subsequently including at Musselburgh last time. She’s raised a further 3lb while ELIXSOFT has only won on the all-weather so far but was beaten only a neck at Leicester in April. Roger Fell’s filly may just edge this and gets the vote. Kwanza drops back down in trip after going close over 1m2f at Newcastle while Midnight Vixen won over 7f at the same track on her penultimate start. Alexandrakollontai is not badly treated on her winning form if back to her best while Tarnhelm is getting closer having slid down the weights.
