Verdict

Eldelbar has landed a double over 7f here since beaten by CHOOSEY over course and distance. The latter looks to have a leading chance once again with Joanna Mason’s allowance negating a 4lb rise and he can also confirm latest running with Charles Le Brun, Swanton Blue and Tomorrowland. I'm Watching You had stablemate Elzaam's Dream back in third when scoring here last month and Global Humor is back on a winning mark while Diamond Jill makes her handicap debut.
