The unexposed ELLE PERFECTA followed her ready success in a Bellewstown maiden hurdle with a good effort in listed company over 16.5f at Galway. The return to this trip looks a good move and she is very appealing pitched into a handicap here off a potentially lenient mark. Wojood is pretty solid and should be on the premises once again, while the in-form Star Rory has to enter calculations, along with Grozni, who hit the target at Navan on Saturday.
