Ellabella gained her fourth victory on the track two weeks ago and will be 8lb higher as Jack Kearney is unable to claim his full allowance. Jaafel has never won but was staying on over 7f last time but Stardayz has been racing over further and couldn't match the pace of the winner over 1m2f last week. LECLERC hasn't had much racing and was making his debut here last month when a very close third to more experienced rivals. He's on the basement mark here with Adan Caffrey's claim a bonus and he can get off the mark. Double Martini invariably misses the break before staying on but would have an obvious chance if getting away on terms.
