Idoapologise won over 6f at Wolverhampton earlier in the month while Brazen Diamond landed a double at the same track in August but has returned a beaten favourite in all three subsequent outings. Aviary is another recent winner at Wolverhampton but ELSAAB is due to be raised 3lb for last week’s second at Yarmouth and with an apprentice taking a further 3lb off her back, she gets the vote. My Boy Jack looks best of the rest back up in trip.
