Perfect Words has gone close on a few occasions and looks a good bet for a place again with Shirley Teasdale claiming 5lb. Keith Dalgleish holds a strong hand with Secret Advice and course and distance winner Salvatore Fury while top weight shouldn't prevent a good run from Cracking Choice, but LITTLE ELI may well be good enough to follow up his win at Doncaster. That was only his second start in a handicap and his fifth in total and there should be more to come from Eric Alston's gelding, who will again be partnered by useful 5lb claimer Jason Hart.
