TWO SMART should be opening her account in this. Placed at Wolverhampton last week, she has plenty in hand on today's rivals including Elhaam. The latter will need to step up on last month's second at Redcar but is clear of the remainder on official ratings. Nelson's Pride may prove best of them given Qatar Princess has so far struggled to match her best efforts of last year.
