Elizona had nothing to beat on the Polytrack in July and looks to have been set a stiff task on her handicap debut. But the other three-year-old, BIOTIC, doesn't look badly treated and the drop back to 7f is definitely in his favour. He gets the vote though Al Khan is usually thereabouts and preferred to Red Paladin, who is often slowly away and leaves himself plenty to do. Available always runs well here and has place claims again while Good Luck Charm comes for a stable going really well at present.
