Noor Khan is partnered by Flavien Prat on her return to action and preferred to stablemate and newcomer Ole Silver but the likes of Sweet Regards, Liberalism and Va Va Voom have been done no favours by the draw. Elgofranco may do better back on the main track today judged on previous attempts but LOVELY FINISH posted her best effort so far when runner-up here on her first outing since 2018 and gets the vote with that run under her belt and further progress likely.
