ELUSIVE ELLEN beat tougher opposition than this when a shock winner of a claimer over track and trip last time. She makes more appeal than Queen Aggie, who remains 8lb higher than her win at Wolverhampton in November. Skinny Love scored over 6f last time but has yet to race over this longer trip while Skidby Mill won over a mile at Kempton last week but this is tougher. Shaunas Spirit and Two Smart are others with a shout if at their best.
