Verdict
Eleazar's likely absence could have left the door open for LORIKARAD to double his tally under Rules. A winner five times between the flags, the eight-year-old showed a willing attitude to get home in front at Towcester last month. Winterwood should like the ground but was disappointing at Alnwick last time while Rathcor isn't easy to catch right, though did nothing wrong at Thorpe Lodge last month. What A Scientist isn't the force of old and the others may need this after a break.
