QUEL ELITE has been competing in better company since scoring in this grade at Wetherby in December. James Moffatt's charge may well come out best back at this level and is preferred to Snapping Turtle. The latter is upped 5lb for winning at Sedgefield last month but finished ahead of Solway Sam when runner-up at Musselburgh before that. Henri Parry Morgan went close at Doncaster before having an off-day at Ludlow but top weight Chavoy reverts to hurdling off a 7lb higher mark than when scoring over fences at Ayr in February. The returning Any Given Moment may prove best of the rest.
