Gordon Elliott has four entries here though none of them have any particular strong claims. Steady Major probably has the best form though that isn't saying much so the vote goes to B COSMOS. He hasn't won in ten starts on the level but made a very promising debut over timber behind Lake Champlain at Down Royal in August and that sort of form would be good enough for this. Making Shapes had looked a potential future winner when fourth here in March but was soon done with after a mistake at Tipperary last month.
