Verdict
ILLUSTRIOUS LAD hasn't looked like winning so far but he hasn't raced in this lowly company before and gets the token vote. Green Mountain finished third at Brighton last time and that was her best effort to date while Cataract has finished a bit closer on the turf recently. Ella Fitzgerald is related to a winner but it doesn't boost confidence that she makes her debut at this level and the remainder have shown nothing worthy of a mention.
