Marquee Club went close over track and trip a week ago but Big Lachie and Elegantly Bound were in close attendance and there is little choose between that trio. Dan Troop was runner-up over 5f here last time and Otomo was second over 7f at Southwell recently. Sliceoflife also drops back in distance after posting a better effort at Newcastle but SECRET AGENT didn’t get the best of runs at Leicester last time and he gets the vote on his earlier placed efforts on Turf.
