It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these. Where's Reiley has been in good form on the all-weather but is upped in class while Sole Danser made little impression at Chepstow last week. A dual winner over a mile last year, Capitol Gain is persevered with over today's trip despite finishing nearer last than first at Leicester on his return but Aye Aye Digby went close over track and trip in September. The latter has a shout in this but a speculative vote goes the way of ELNA BRIGHT, who has been dropped another 8lb since last racing on Turf and may be in the mood to take advantage.
