The in-form Elusif had every chance at Chelmsford yesterday and would carry a double penalty if successful while Rich Approach was also due to run at Newcastle last night. Kraka is usually thereabouts in this grade without winning and Upavon can figure back over 7f today but CHAMPION BROGIE is preferred. Both wins on the all-weather to date came over course and distance and he drops down a grade for this. Disruptor gets a change of headgear still looking for his first success while Kyllachy Dragon’s recent placed effort here came in a seller.
