Verdict

ELIXSOFT has rediscovered her form since joining Karen Tutty and sets the standard in an otherwise open Class 5 handicap. She finished runner-up to Robero over C&D in late December, with that form receiving a timely boost here on Monday courtesy of the third-placed horse (Forseti). Tagur is handicapped to have a say and should fare better for having Josephine Gordon back in the saddle, while course-specialist Bond Angel demonstrated her current well-being with a surprise (25-1) away-day success on the Polytrack at Lingfield (1m2f) just over a fortnight ago.
