Tom's Article has every chance at the weights but given Gordon Elliott's charge has failed to complete his last four outings, he fails to offer much in the way of value. Grey Monk should go well on his return having won a seller at Hexham when last at the track in October but REGAL ONE has the more recent form. The latter was beaten on the nod at over 2m here on his latest start and that looks stronger form than Kyles Faith's fourth at the track earlier in the month. Hazzaat drops in class and may do better.
