Ellesappelle gets the vote here with Subsidise and Mister Fizzbomb rated as the main dangers. The selection hails from a yard in flying form and she caught the eye staying-on strongly down the outside at Ripon last time when fifth behind Capistrano. This race will not take much winning and this filly looks the percentage call, especially as she is proven on the ground. Subsidise rates the main danger as he is eased in grade today but his ability to handle cut in the ground has to be taken on trust and for that reason we will take him on. Mister Fizzbomb was a fair second behind Keisha Kayleigh last time and looks to have a solid chance, but the blinkers are left off today and they seemed to work the oracle last time. Wensleydale Star hails from a yard in form and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Ellesappelle.
