FormscanBy Alan Magee - ELLAAT has been in good form over hurdles of late and is taken to make a winning return to the Flat. The Noel Kelly-trained gelding gained his second win on the level over this trip at Fairyhouse in June and despite having shown a preference for a sound surface, is running on the polytrack for the first time since his juvenile days. Rita Levi has won twice over course and distance this winter including a defeat of Lady Of Luxury last month, while Turf Range is also coming here off the back of a course and distance win when defying a lengthy layoff last time. Kartayaz, Macaban City and Trump Card are others for the shortlist.
