Race preview
ELLERTON appeared rejuvenated by a 167-day layoff when scoring over an extended 2m here recently and he looks more than capable of following up. The six-year-old struck over 2m4f at Wincanton in March of last year so this distance should be within his reach. David Pipe has his string in fantastic fettle so an improved performance from American Sniper would come as no surprise, while Byzantium isn't easily dismissed.
