Ellen's Girl can land the finale with Feolin and Aggravation also shortlisted. The selection has won her last three races and although Richard Hannon's filly was all-out to score last time, she is clearly on the upgrade and she may be able to improve enough to score again. Feolin was a cosy winner at Brighton last time but this is the acid test for her because she has run well in the past and subsequently disappointed. Aggravation would have claims on his best form but he appears to have gone off the boil and he is probably best watched. Border Edge is a course and distance winner and could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with the progressive Ellen's Girl.
