Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand here. ZANAHIYR hasn't been seen on the Flat since winning a maiden nearly 5 years ago but a mark of 77 could prove lenient judged on the smart level he's reached over jumps since. Stablemate Mordor made a sound return to Flat at Navan last month and this longer trip should suit so he's second choice ahead of Mon Coeur, the mount of Billy Lee, and recent La Touche Cup winner Busselton.
