This looks open but ELKSTONE is given another chance to gain an elusive first success at the 26th attempt, although stakes should remain conservative to say the least. He seemed to go out like a light the last day but had previously gone close around this circuit and is worth one last chance to finally put his name up in lights on conditions he enjoys. Jockey bookings indicate that ex-Irish Dr Moloney is the stable preferred of the Murphy duo and it will be intriguing to see if that view if confirmed by the market on his first run for the yard, First time up could be the time to catch him but he's another whose career record of 1-31 is a concern. MIss Conway has taken time to work her way back into form but she arrives with every chance on the back of a good Hexham third last month.
