    Verdict

    Elegiac has every chance having placed in a tougher contest at Ascot last time and competing off the same mark today. Amourice and Blue Laureate are harder t recommend off their current marks judged on recent efforts but SLEEPING LION continues to improve. He ran into to trouble on a couple of occasions at Newbury last time but still managed to get his head in front and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent James Fanshawe’s colt landing the hat-trick.
