Raced keenly, held up in last pair, steady headway on outside tracking leaders over 3f out, ridden to challenge and edged left inside final furlong, no extra towards finish
Outbox (15/8), Aspetar (9/4), Elegiac (11/4), Jedhi (12/1), Spirit Of Appin (14/1), Candidate (22/1), Swordbill (40/1), Lucky Lover Boy (100/1)
The beautifully bred Outbox got to set a sedate pace in making it two wins from as many starts and will be hard to pass if given an easy lead once again. He's open to big improvement but ELEGIAC sets a strong a standard, is tactically versatile and looked to have kicked on again with an ultra impressive win at York. Aspetar should have plenty more to come at this distance and is going the right way.
