Ice Shadow was a winner here less than two weeks ago but fourth Pop Favorite missed the break that day and is 4lb better off so may well turn the tables. A winner off a pound higher mark over course and distance back in February, Eleven Eleven has rediscovered his best form lately but will have to reverse recent running with the consistent SPIRIT OF BOWLAND and is no better off at the weights. Zafaan has yet to place on the all-weather but was badly hampered when fourth here two runs ago so is no forlorn hope.
