Elham Valley changed hands after winning a seller at Goodwood recently but is penalised for that success. ETHICS APPROVAL posted his best effort so far when runner-up over 1m2f on soft going at Windsor. There should be more to come from the latter over this extra distance and he’s preferred to Binyon, who will appreciate this return to 1m4f after placing at Beverley. Raventree has yet to threaten in handicaps while Bellatrixsa makes her handicap debut having missed an engagement at Newcastle a couple of days ago and Good View debuts for new connections.
