Elyaadi was a leading fancy for the Ebor having finished second in the Ascot Stakes previously. She's dropped in trip again today, however, and may be vulnerable against speedier types. Sindiyma started making up for lost time when scoring at Fairyhouse but her stable has been in the doldrums lately, while La Chassotte has gone up 37lb in the handicap since recording the first of her five victories this term. Notalossonya handled the step up in trip at Galway last time and is chasing a hat-trick following an earlier win over 1m2f at this track. She may be the biggest danger to SENSE OF PURPOSE. Runner-up when visored in a Listed race at York last month, the latter now sports blinkers in an attempt to end a frustrating sequence of placed efforts in better company.
