Onebaba has done all his winning over shorter trips so far as when successful at Southwell last week. He’s penalised for that while Eldelbar is regularly placed on the all-weather but rarely wins. Rockesbury is preferred making a quick reappearance after finishing runner-up at Lingfield a couple of days ago but it could pay to stick with VITESSE DU SON, who opened his account over course and distance last time having slipped down the weights. The runner-up has subsequently won so the form looks solid enough and Stuart Kittow’s charge can go in again.
