Formscan - Eldeyaar has proved a different proposition since adopting more positive tactics, as seen in last month's victories at Ripon and at this venue. However, a 5lb rise for his latest triumph over C&D may leave him vulnerable, with JOHN KIRKUP making slighty more appeal. The David Thompson-trained inmate displaying a willing attitude when getting up to win over 5f at Redcar recently and a return to 6f should hold no fears. Highjacked and Mr Trevor are others to note.
