Eldelbar is upped 4lb for winning over track and trip but beat STARBO by only a neck. That was the latter’s first outing after a wind operation and he’s taken to reverse running with further progress on the cards. Deolali has every chance having gone close here the last twice while Red Skye Delight finished runner-up at Chelmsford on her reappearance and can also figure. The Retriever found only one too good over a mile here last month only to disappoint last time.
