Most of these are dropping down in class with BEST TRIP, Tellovoi and Hadaj the highest rated on official figures. Brian Ellison's charge has the best recent form with a second over 6f at Newmarket and he gets a speculative vote having won over today's longer trip twice before. Mac's Superstar and maiden winner Half Way have a bit to find on today's terms while Ain't No Surprise was placed on a couple of occasions over track and trip early in the year albeit in lesser company than this.
