        Verdict

        Ellaal won three times here last year, including this race, but arrives badly out of form. Crazy Tornado never threatened when favourite at Haydock last week but is back on a winning mark while ZESHOV should have come on for a recent pipe-opener at Pontefract. The latter ended last season with a double that included a course and distance success and Rebecca Bastiman’s charge may prove good enough in this. Vizier remains lightly raced having won a maiden last year when trained by Roger Varian and Danny Tudhope prefers him to stablemate Marbooh while Bernie's Boy drops down a grade on only his second start for Roger Fell.
