H KEY LAILS stands out on recent efforts following last week's narrow C&D second. Split Elevens is a complicated sort but went through the remainder of his Lingfield race well enough after blowing the start last time and is rated as the biggest threat, with Give A Little Back a fair pick to complete the placings.
