A runner-up here a week ago, Circuitous finished ahead of both Sunraider and Klynch. He has leading claims off the same mark today but a chance is taken on the less exposed ELLA'S DELIGHT. She only won a maiden at Doncaster last month but her earlier second at the Curragh looks decent form and there should be more to come from Martin Todhunter's filly. Head Space arrives out of sorts but is now back on a winning mark and a much better effort from him could be forthcoming.
