Eland Ally has won once in 39 starts but drops into this lowly grade for the first time in his career and just has the call on official ratings. The last time RISK 'N' REWARD ran in a seller he won at Redcar and he's also landed a claimer there subsequently. He has a bit to find at the weights but looks just about good enough. Grey Destiny has come close to losing his maiden tag on a couple of occasions and is suited by the ground while Bearskin has won twice over the trip though both times on soft ground.
