Iffjack will be popular as the Eliott representative and he's probably been a little unlucky in his career to date but we'll take him on with GALIZZI. The ex-Michael Bell inmate doesn't look like one of John Ferguson's leading summer lights but showed more than enough when second at Hexham on just a second hurdling start to suggest a contest of this nature is within his grasp and he should improve plenty for the run. Sindarban did well to finish as close as he did last time considering he failed to settle and should be in the mix if proving more amenable to restraint. Another Bygones needs to improve but keep a watchful eye upon Chaz Michaels. He scored in a point-to-point just under a couple of months ago and has now moved to the Lucinda Russell yard. He could be anything and the market should signpost stable expectations on this hurdling debut.
