Verdict

Joe Tizzard has his string in great nick so ELLERTON is fancied to return in style and follow up his Wincanton spring success on his debut for the yard. In-form Half A Chance seems sure to go well again but could have to settle for second once more, while Therapist and Mary need factoring in too.
