Elusive In Paris scored for the fifth time here last month though that was over a mile and the only time he's run beyond the trip he finished last. Shukhov had beaten him off levels in a claimer earlier but is a massive 12lb worse off though he's better over tonight's trip. Cosmic Symbol was just over a length behind Elusive In Paris last time but is another unproven over this trip and has plenty to do at the weights. CORKER HILL has dropped to a lowly mark as he was racing off 82 last summer. He hasn't been running badly in recent starts here and though not exactly well treated in this claimer he looks good enough to see off these rivals. Piccadilly Jim may prove best of the remainder.
