Verdict

ELKHART bounced back to form with victory over a mile at Newmarket last week. He has something to prove over today's distance but is worth another try as he remains well handicapped on his previous form. Epsom winner Mcvicar found life tough in much better company at Ascot recently but this is more his level and Edraaq may well be capable of better on his handicap debut, though he's been at his best on the Polytrack so far. Winning sprinter Lucky Money steps up in trip for the first time here but his breeding, as well as Sir Mark Prescott's excellent strike rate at this track, suggest he could get involved.
