Verdict
Chris's Mate was given a more positive ride when opening his account over 7f here last month and another bold bid cannot be ruled out. However, today's extra furlong may stretch the five-year-old's stamina, which could leave the door open for ESQUE ELEGANCE. Stephen Hanlon's filly posted a respectable third-placed stable bow at this venue 17 days ago and any improvement could enable a breakthrough victory. Lady Delila may fare best of the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
ESQUE ELEGANCE placed behind a well handicapped rival last time and could shed her maiden tag if building on that. She proved she stayed this far when trained in Ireland and all of her best form has come on the AW. Chris's Mate belatedly got off the mark in a similar event over C&D last time and looks the obvious danger though he still has to prove his stamina for this far. Lady Delila is a strong stayer at the trip and if she gets a stiff test she should be able to gain a place as she did last time.
