Finished in the first three five times in six starts since making a winning debut over this trip at Windsor in August. One to note off a mark 1lb higher than when finishing a neck second over 1m4f here last time.

Victorious over C&D on his penultimate start and put in a decent effort in finishing fourth off this 2lb higher mark subsequently. Interesting runner in this contest.

Successful twice so far most recently over 1m at Windsor (good) in October. Races off a mark 1lb higher than for that success but has disappointed over this trip in the past.

Wore an eye-shield (absent since) for the first time when finishing a neck second over C&D early last month. Decent effort when fourth in an amateur riders event subsequently and likely to run well once more.

Victorious over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton around this time last year but held in the main since. Races off a mark 4lb lower than for that success and wears blinkers for the first time today.

14/1
Finished one place behind Dutch Uncle when fifth over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time out. Dropped 3lb for that effort and has won off higher marks in the past.

Forecasts

Lawless Secret (6/4), Dutch Uncle (7/2), Eltezam (7/2), Easy Tiger (9/2), Hidden Steps (12/1), Van Huysen (14/1)

Verdict

ELTEZAM ran well to finish second behind one of today's rivals Easy Tiger at Lingfield on his penultimate start and he can make a winning return to this distance having put in a decent effort in an amateur riders race last time. The selection races off the same mark as when runner-up here last month and can register a second career success with top weight Lawless Secret taken to finish third today.
