Miss Sligo won one of the events over a longer trip at Wolverhampton recently and had finished ahead of STAR OF EPSOM at Kempton early last year. The latter was a beaten favourite at Chelmsford on her reappearance but will be sharper today and may prove the one to side with. Miss Elsa placed over track and trip in between moderate efforts on the Tapeta and is preferred to Pittsburg.
