A further rise in the weights brought Elegant Erin’s winning run to an end and she could only manage fifth at Pontefract behind LADY CELIA. The latter looks worth sticking with now she’s got her head back in front. Miss Nay Never returns to the Tapeta for the first time since scoring at Wolverhampton back in March and looks best of the remaining trio.
