Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand in this maiden with JAZZ DE COTTE and Welcome Back. The first named got back on track with a good second at Naas last month and, with the likelihood of more to come now stepping back up in trip, he's selected to go one better. Hills of Glory and Cap Bernat are others to consider.
