Verdict
Plenty with claims in this, which is as open as it first appears. ELKHART is only a pound higher than when scoring over C&D last month so gets the nod as his best form is on good to firm. Footspepsofspring is unlikely to be far away again, however, and is another recent C&D winner - Nicole Nordblad again takes 7lb off Phil McBride's three-year-old. Hail Promenader, Cufflink and McCool Bannanas also deserve a mention but Junket's penalty may have taken him out of the equation and Take The Stage may just lack a bit of experience against these seasoned handicappers.
