Contingency Fee makes a quick reappearance having only managed fourth at Southwell earlier in the week and MISS ELSA is preferred. The latter returned a convincing winner over a shorter trip here last time and a chance is taken Eve Johnson Houghton’s filly stays this far. Dream Magic has slipped back down the weights and will be sharper for last month’s outing here while Straitouttacompton would have finished closer at Newcastle last time with a clear run and has undergone wind surgery since.
