Verdict

Ellens Way proved a revelation when winning emphatically in the mud at Fontwell on Boxing Day and holds obvious claims under just a 7lb penalty considering she is due to go up more than that in the future. That said, there is always a chance this race could come too soon and it may pay to take her on at cramped odds with TAMBURA a looking viable alternative having hinted at a return to winning ways at Plumpton recently. Braventara is also interesting on her handicap/seasonal debut for an in-form new yard.
