Pampushka has been beaten a long way over hurdles since two decent runs here at the end of last year while Proud And Elated is now 0-17. The latter probably just needed her latest run after a break and can get into contention but SPANISH SOPRANO had run two good races over further before just failing to concede Northern Surprise 17lb over this trip early last month and looks the one to beat. Stranagone didn't show much in two starts over further on Turf and looks better over this trip but Crest Of A Wave was caught on the line on her handicap debut over 7f last week.
