Verdict
Hallelujah was only beaten a head in last year's renewal but was well behind 2013 winner LANCELOT DU LAC (NAP) over track and trip last month. The latter has gone close again since in a Listed sprint at Doncaster so Dean Ivory's charge gets the vote. Seeking Magic arrives in good form and won here before going close at Wolverhampton while Elis Eliz landed a Class 4 race here in October, though was well beaten despite finishing runner-up last time. Intransigent is not out of this returning to 6f and Baddilini showed signs of a resurgence when beaten only a length at Chelmsford last week.
