MISS ELLANY looks the type to follow until beaten. The only three-year-old in this line-up, she has joined David O'Meara from Ireland where she showed a glimmer of ability, and could hardly have been more impressive on her debut for the yard in a Beverley maiden. The handicapper hasn't taken too many chances with her but she can follow-up though C&D winner No Quarter looks a big threat after bouncing back to form at Thirsk. Mata Hari Blue loves the soft ground and has been running so consistently that it will be a surprise if she's not in the shake-up and though the veteran Zomerlust has been operating at a lower level he's actually extremely well handicapped. Dr Red Eye only faded close home over the C&D last time and should get in the mix.
