Rouen is eased in grade but Chelmsford winner Long Ago may have a better chance of dragging the Stoute team out of the doldrums, though Mistressofillusion should get closer today. Elegancia has been highly tried in a couple of runs this year but SO FARHH SO GOOD pulled much too hard when favourite at Ascot last month and, if Jim Crowley can settle her better here, she has a chance to recoup losses. Windsor second Queen Emma and newcomer Sabriel, a Nathaniel filly out of a Frankel mare, add to the interest.
