Verdict
Edification will improve for a satisfactory introduction at Goodwood and his yard do well with juveniles but ELRONAQ sets a demanding standard. The Invincible Spirit colt was only beaten a length by Eltezam in a Haydock maiden on debut with the remainder well behind to the tune of five lengths and more. The winner has gone on to finish a fine third in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot to give the form the healthiest of sheens. The market should indicate expectations surrounding some interesting newcomers, with Melabi, a son of Oasis Dream for William Haggas, the Hannon pair of Dubai's Secret and Sakada and Ed Dunlop's Zoffany colt, Zauffaly, making most appeal at this stage.
