ISHIKAWA has put a couple of good runs together, finishing runner-up over C&D before another good effort at Wolverhampton last time. He's just preferred to Wordiness, lightly raced and placed on his recent return from a layoff. Manomine and Elsie Bay are usually thereabouts at this level without winning and Made Of More may do better on his handicap debut. Thecornishcowboy had been holding his form well before a below par effort last time and is another to consider.
