It's difficult to get past LAYLA'S OASIS in the opener. She's clear at the weights having won a handicap at Wolverhampton last time by a couple of lengths, Jamie Osborne's filly arrives in fine form. Many Elements comes out next best and produced his best effort so far over C&D but has plenty to find with the likely favourite. The lightly-raced Tartan Blue may improve past the latter while Miss Starry Eyed is in turn rated higher than Fiance Fiasco but neither make any appeal on today's terms.
