Elasia will need to show further progress carrying a penalty for last month’s success at Newcastle and a couple of these went close on their latest starts including Newmarket runner-up Hameem, who finished in front of a subsequent Sir Michael Stoute-trained winner. The latter runs RARE in this and she gets nod with improvement expected having been caught close home at Lingfield on last month’s debut. Via Delle Volte is another recent runner-up though was well beaten at Chelmsford and the remainder are even harder to recommend.
