Verdict
Richard Fahey sets a poser in this by saddling a trio of runners. Elizabeth Ernest's fourth at Thirsk looks the best form but jockey bookings suggest Elevator Action, very green on debut, is the best of the three. Denton Dawn has only found one too good at Thirsk and Ayr and looks the one to beat but HOWLIN' FOR YOU might improve a little for the switch to Turf and step up in trip - she gets a tentative vote.
