ELYSIAN FIELDS has a further 7lb hike to contend with but landed a five-timer by four lengths at Salisbury last time. Amanda Perrett's filly is worth sticking with until beaten. Forever Popular beat a subsequent winner when winning a maiden at Chepstow and makes her handicap bow but Asyad was a well beaten third on her reappearance behind a Luca Cumani-trained winner and the latter runs Newbury runner-up Dreamlike in this. Chesil Beach is weighted to reverse earlier running with Elysian Fields but the latter has improved since while Sagaciously makes her belated seasonal debut having finished fourth in a Listed race in November and is one to note.
