7f winners Chokidar and Zing Wing will need to improve on their earlier efforts over a mile if they're to get involved but Ellie In The Pink went close over track and trip during the week and should be in the firing-line. Avertis won here before finding Toga Tiger too good last time and the latter has every chance of landing a hat-trick upped only 2lb for his latest victory at Kempton. PUSH ME is back on the same mark as when winning last year's renewal and after a couple of improved efforts over course and distance, Jamie Poulton's mare looks set for a repeat and she gets the vote.
