Poppy finished runner-up on the Polytrack a week ago, but was beaten five lengths in the race in which Main Opinion trailed in last. Lady Elsie drops back in distance despite her best piece of form coming over 1m4f at Kempton and this looks a good opportunity for ELRAABEYA to open her account. She was beaten less than a length when fourth to Jiwen at Nottingham on her latest start and, with the winner having gone in again since, the form looks solid enough. Love Your looks is related to winners and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Tenavon.
