In depth
Verdict
Few make any appeal with NINE ELMS perhaps the one to side with. A course and distance winner in February, he’s been thereabouts subsequently and finished in front of both Windsorlot and Star Ascending when fourth at the track last time. The latter pair could be in the mix again while Corrida De Toros has been in better form over a mile lately having slipped down the weights, though has yet to win in 14 attempts.
