Naturally Blonde is the only course winner in the line-up but he's been running poorly over much longer trips. The four-year-old ELUSIVE DON (NAP) would have gone close to beating the in-form Colenso over the track and trip last month but for a bad mistake and, though 2lb higher, will take some beating with Paul Townend a positive booking. Josephina finished behind Colenso at Wexford but was conceding weight so there shouldn't be too much between her and the selection here. Creasted Court produced easily her best run at Wexford in April and has the potential to do better. First One D'Ana was engaged in the 7.05 here last night.
