In depth

Verdict

Ella McCain has ridden veteran hurdler Tawseef to a couple of victories on the Flat and Donald McCain’s 11-year-old is not ruled out here. Siyahamba has each-way claims again while Richard Strauss and St Andrews pop up now and again. Elite Icon beat FRAME RATE just under a length here at the start of the month but the runner-up, now blinkered, is a couple of pounds better off and may come out on top this time with Jamie Gormley’s claim a further plus. Eyreborn looks held on the form book.
