ROUGH COURTE has now had 14 starts without winning and she's not going to turn into a world-beater but her overall form from much higher marks gives her the edge in a moderate contest. Lady Liz has shown a glimmer of ability while Stanarley Pic showed the benefit of his opening run with a better effort a couple of weeks later. Too Elusive has never run on anything but fast ground and Polytrack so he's something of an unknown but Tim Easterby's newcomer Notaprayer is the first foal of a mare who won over this trip.
