ELHAM VALLEY has failed to show any progress since winning a novice event at Lingfield but may prove good enough in a weak seller. Salamanca School is another to have disappointed in handicaps having won a maiden last year while Bealach has undergone wind surgery since last in action and also drops in class. Lemon Song and Jen's Fella are less exposed than Lady Magda of the remainder.
