Elk Bridge ran in snatches at Huntingdon but the former pointer is almost certainly capable of better. Chanting Hill was doing her best work at the finish at Ayr and is another likely improver but Paul Nicholls is a rare visitor here and saddles ELLARNA. She disappointed on her final start in a bumper at Cheltenham last season but has had wind surgery since and the switch to hurdles and step up in distance should see the Lucarno mare in a better light. Fyfin Patsy’s second at Hexham was her best run so far over timber but she is starting to look a little exposed.
