Verdict
A couple of these stand out on recent running. War Glory has gone close in both starts over 7f at Lingfield this year though is upped 3lb for his latest effort. But EL VIP (NAP) returned to action with a third at Bath when beaten only a length off today’s mark and Luca Cumani’s colt gets the nod to come out best in this. Early Morning has a chance on last year’s best form that included a win at Ascot but Alfred Hutchinson is more at home on the all-weather. Top Notch Tonto doesn’t look the force of old and Quixote was a long way behind the selection at Leicester last year.
