More was perhaps expected of Alans Pride in the wake of his January win around here but, as yet, he hasn't really gone on with things. Elusive Approach did things nicely a week ago and should be competitive again despite a 6lb hike but arguably there is more potential from TENNESSEE WALTZ who is also going to shoulder 6lb extra having won here a fortnight ago over this trip. That was his second win of the calendar year and it seems there could well be more to offer. Set To Fire was an eyecatcher on debut for his new trainer recently at this track and, racing off the same mark, should be given due respect. Easy Boy, a C&D winner in December, is another worth considering.
