Ellaal returned to winning ways over course and distance last month. Upped only 3lb, he's won off higher marks in the past, but so has TOYMAKER. The latter also scored over track and trip when landing an apprentices' race under today's jockey 10 days ago and escapes a penalty in this. Les Gar Gan remains 4lb higher than her win here in January while both John Caesar and Kicking The Can can be given a chance off their current marks though both are still searching for their first win.
