In depth

Verdict

ELLADE's two victories have been on Polytrack but she was only beaten a head at Windsor before finding Group 2 company at Newmarket well beyond her. This is her level and victory number three looks on the cards. Atomic Lady completed a double in a York nursery where she stayed on strongly when challenged while May Blossom came with a late burst to score over Beverley's stiff 5f. Firebomb has been showing excellent speed over the minimum but Tareekh's latest success came in a seller. The speedy Come Quick has found 6f just beyond him the last twice so this looks his trip for now.
