      Verdict

      ELHAAME wore down previous winner Missed Call in the closing stages to score at Nottingham on his latest start. He looks capable of following-up given Luca Cumani's excellent strike rate at this track but won't have things all his own way. Karam Albaari in particular looks a threat as he's slipped down the weights this season while Now My Sun wasn't beaten that far off today's mark at Ayr last time. Aquilonius scored over 2m on his latest start but is equally at home over this distance.
