Royal Bajan has now won three of his five starts including a victory at Nottingham in between two wins on the Polytrack. However, he'll need to improve again here off a 6lb higher mark and ELAND ALLY makes more appeal. Tom Tate's consistent sprinter went close at Doncaster last Saturday after winning at the same track on his penultimate start and can get his head back in front here in what looks a less competitive handicap. Scarlet Rocks finished runner-up at Windsor last time but has yet to win over today's trip, while both of Mandy's Hero's wins came over 5f on the Polytrack.
