In depth
Verdict
Simple Elegance failed to improve with an apprentice doing the steering at Wolverhampton last time so stablemate and newcomer WANTING is preferred. The latter is a sister to a Listed winner and the 140,000gns filly may well prove good enough. Exentricity is pretty exposed and looks no nearer winning though she did finish ahead of Dutch Fredie G at Kempton on her reappearance while Chasing Rubies did not show much in the way of progress when fourth at Southwell last time.
