Danequest has run 14 times on the all-weather and never reached the first two, though he did run quite well over 1m2f last month. ELUSIVE IN PARIS has won four times around here and though it's over a year since his last victory he's now dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from again and Ross Coakley can steer him home. Double Fast was behind him here last time and looks held but the lightly-raced Relarita should be winning soon judged on her latest effort behind Bridle Path. No Way Jack, a winner on heavy ground at Limerick in October, is capable of winning one of these and shouldn't be long doing so while Pushingmypatience was having her first start for new connections when performing with credit behind Sister Slew last month.
