A tricky contest with the likes of Blue Maisey, Be Amazing, Hurricane Lady and Abeer all open to improvement on their seasonal debuts. Amelia's Surprise won at Wolverhampton on her recent reappearance and there should be more to come on her first start in a handicap, but ELLIE IN THE PINK makes more appeal. Alan Jarvis' filly left it late to hit top gear when scoring over 6f at Kempton three weeks ago and she gets the vote with today's longer trip expected to bring further progress.
