It’s a surprise to see Elham Valley dropping into selling company given he won a Class 3 handicap at Newton Abbot around this time last year and was second twice in the spring but BOUNDSY BOY is preferred. He was second twice at the start of the summer, including once over course and distance, and won at Huntingdon last season. It’s a long time since Peaceful Sunday showed any worthwhile form over hurdles or fences.
