Race preview
EL C WELLS gained an initial handicap rating of 57 following three maiden runs over a mile at Dundalk earlier this year and the daughter of Belardo looks well capable of scoring off that mark after a very promising run over course and distance last month. The Pat Martin-trained filly didn't enjoy much luck in running before staying on strongly to be beaten less than a length behind Vocito, and Sam Ewing is now a significant booking in this apprentice handicap. She's Good Company is also drawn wide and has a similar profile to the selection. She also caught the eye when finishing with a flourish over a mile at Gowran Park a fortnight ago. Top-weight Medway is fitted with cheek pieces and steps up in trip after going close at Dundalk last week, while Rosa Dartle and Castle Stables are others for the shortlist.
