ELEAZAR was three lengths ahead of Silver Adonis when the pair finished in midfield in the Fox Hunters' at Aintree last month and the former can uphold the form this afternoon to make a welcome return to the winners' enclosure. Both of the aforementioned pair can boast previous victories at this track, with the selection a C&D winner, a comment that also applies to Assassino, who failed to fire latest but whose previous form gives him a shout.
