      Verdict

      More Than Likely came clear of his field to score in style over course and distance earlier this month and has a strong follow-up chance for a yard that do well at the track but MISS ELSA should give a good account in receipt of 7lb. She delivered an excellent debut when a close second at Leicester and things didn't work out too well at Lingfield last time when not getting the run of the race. The additional furlong should be in her favour and she's worth another chance. The rest need to improve considerably to trouble the front two with Associate Rock suggested as best of the three.
