        Verdict

        Elusif makes a quick reappearance carrying a penalty having won over a mile at Kempton a couple of days ago and this shorter trip is not a problem. Caledonia Laird won last year’s renewal off a similar mark and is not out of this while Billyoakes scored over track and trip last month but is 4lb higher today. The unexposed BOLD DECISION was having only his second outing for Tony Carroll’s yard when finishing a close-up fourth at Kempton a fortnight ago. He finished with a late flourish and looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Lottie Deno may improve on her second start after wind surgery and could prove best of the rest.
