Private Story is the highest rated on official figures but it was only a seller he won over a longer trip here last month and he was tailed off at Ascot last time. ELIZABETH COFFEE makes more appeal as she scored in soft going at Redcar last time and is taken to confirm running with fourth placed Eijaaz. The latter has subsequently gone close over C&D but has plenty to find on today's terms with Ian Williams' filly, as does February's Southwell winner Tricksofthetrade, while it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
