The victory of TEARS OF THE SUN (NAP) at Brighton received a massive boost when runner-up Elbereth won a competitive affair at Epsom on Saturday. Clive Cox's filly is only 3lb higher and should take all the beating again. Persona Grata didn't quite run up to her all-weather form on her Turf debut here last month and looks high enough in the weights but Go Sakhee probably needed his run at Leicester and could play a part while Inspector Norse may have found 1m4f too far at Epsom. Red Warrior was put up 3lb after finishing second over course and distance on his reappearance and couldn't cope next time at Newcastle.
