ELJADDAAF scored at Wolverhampton last time and may come out best once again given he has scope for further improvement up against mostly exposed, low-grade handicappers. That includes the 10-year-old Nasri, who won here in January and is 4lb higher today, but another veteran Noverre To Go is quite capable of popping up off his current mark. Secret Millionaire is usually thereabouts at this level though all nine previous wins have been over the minimum trip but Divine Call has won off a higher mark over course and distance before.
