Regular course visitors, Elusive Warrior, Ubenkor and Crocodile Bay take each other on again and the former should come out best here. Polytrack winner Nacho Libre has claims on his best form but didn't fire in two previous starts on this surface and Zarius looks a safer option given he won over a mile at this track last month. But, in an open contest, a chance is taken on BEL CANTOR. He won over C&D at this time last year off a 21lb higher mark and has shown signs over 6f recently that a return to form is imminent.
