This looks a good opportunity for ELMAAM to get off the mark. A tardy start and trouble in-running spoilt her chance at Chester on her recent return to action, but she still managed to finish runner-up and this looks easier. Eljowzah improved to take third at Lingfield on her reappearance and she looks the biggest danger given Alkhawarah ran as though something was amiss at Pontefract last month. Better is expected from Maharanee, who finished a respectable third here on her debut, while Zennor will strip fitter for his recent return from an 18 month absence.
