Eborarry is given the nod with both Money Line and Elegant Clutter both worthy of mention. The selection is the winner of three races to date. His latest win came over course and distance and as a consiquence has risen five pounds for his troubles. Since then he has run well in defeat and infact he has risen a further two pounds. This will be tougher for him but he never knows how to run a bad race so is taken to win again at a track that he likes. Money Line will be the obvious danger having won at Towcester last time out. He runs off the same mark and has the champion jockey on board. For that reason he might be a false price and we feel the value lies elsewhere. Elegant Clutter is the other to note in the market. His form though has tailed off of late but the stable are in decent form. But for the winner we return to Eborarry.
