Dee Cee Elle can land her hat-trick at the expense of Serpentaria and Rumpus. The selection carries a six pound penalty after her recent win at Southwell on the all weather. She had faired well to win on the turf their beforehand also. She looks a versitle type and with conditions in her favour once more she could prove difficult to beat. Serpentaria will pose as the biggest danger as he has won and been place over the winter months on the all weather. He comes from a yard that is respected so any market moves should be noted. The same can be said for Rumpus who won on his only start at Southwell last month and is open to further improvement so is to be noted. But for the winner we return to Dee Cee Elle.
