There are a more experienced bunch than those in the first division. Elusif rather ran in snatches at Ascot but looks the type to go on to better things. Amplification was an eye-catcher at Yarmouth and the extra furlong will suit. Epic Fantasy made good late headway at Newbury last month and is another who should enjoy the longer trip but we like the way CONSULTANT shaped at Salisbury, despite meeting trouble in-running. Andrew Balding's gelding is in the sales next month and a victory would boost his value.
