Verdict

ELUSIVE EMPIRE took a big step forward when runner-up at Salisbury last time and looks the way to go here with further progress on the cards from Archie Watson's son of Territories. Ex-Irish Capital Guarantee has the form to play a big part too if hitting the ground running for his new yard. Newcomer Initio is another to consider if the market speaks in his favour.
