In depth
Verdict
Polliwilline, Abbey Cat and Elegant Times are all running well at present and we will go with the first named. Richard Hannon's daughter of Mull Of Kintyre improved for the step up to a mile last time when comfortably beating Tommy Toogood at Windsor. The slight drop in trip shouldn't be a problem and she can make it back to back victories. Abbey Cat also comes here in winning form having easily disposed of Royal Composer at Newcastle. So long as the rain stays away she must be in the shake up. Elegant Times returned from a seven month break to run an excellent third behind Stonehaugh at Catterick. There should be improvement to come and she could be each-way value. The pick of the remainder could be Tour d'Amour, but Polliwilline looks to have the strongest form and this one gets the nod.
