Gordon Elliott trained last year’s winner and Boris Grishenko will likely improve now handicapping for the first time though will need to.

But it could be the turn of END PLAY (NAP) today given she finished a creditable third over track and trip on her first start since January and has plenty of scope for further progress over hurdles.
