Elusive Warrior is a standing dish at this track but recorded the latest of his nine course victories back in 2010 and all of them came over 7f. EL DECECY beat the latter in a seller here last season but this isn't much better and he gets the token vote back on the Fibresand for the first time since January. Tony Hollis has gone close over C&D off higher marks before and finally won his first race when successful at Musselburgh last time while Chronic Flame is a rare runner at the track for Marcus Tregoning and is worth noting along with Royal Holiday and recent Chepstow winner Menadati.
