ELIXSOFT has slipped back down to a winning mark and just missed out at Ayr recently. Gemma Tutty’s mare can go one better racing off the same mark. Safe Passage is upped in trip after going close at Kempton on her handicap debut and can figure if lasting home but Otto Oyl ran poorly at Pontefract having earlier won at Southwell. Grandstand will be sharper for last month’s outing and looks best of the rest.
