ERSHAADAAT gets another chance having placed in this grade at Kempton last time and allowed to race off the same mark in this. Both Slovak and Pacolita won over 7f last month but failed to cope with a rise in the weights on their latest starts. Elusive Ellen has a shout dropping back down in class and went close at Newbury earlier while Sleepy Dust is looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights and finished a lot closer at Brighton a week ago.
