Few of these arrive in any kind of form and Riliya, a course and distance winner early last month, struggled from 5lb higher on a return visit. He had Philly's Hope and HARBANAKER behind for that victory and should confirm the form with the former but Gavin Cromwell's charge had run much better on his previous start here and gets another chance. Eloy D'amerval is 0-10 around here though finished runner-up under a big weight in August and would have a chance on that form.
