Verdict
MABO has the best recent form of these. A runner-up over track and trip before finding one too good at Bath, he looks up to winning off his current mark. Elusif’s earlier success came at Kempton and he’s 5lb higher but Desert Dream won off today’s mark here at the end of last year. Beastie Boy returned a beaten favourite at Bath having placed before that while the likes of Soldier's Son, Anonymous John and Chase That Dream have all tumbled down the weights.
