    Verdict

    Choral Festival is something of a standing dish here but she won't find it easy to give weight to the three-year-olds. Hostile Fire could hardly be in better form, wrapping up a hat-trick over a mile here last time. He'll be hard to beat if staying the extra but there is surely more to come from ELITE FORCE. He'll definitely improve for the longer trip and the Nottingham fourth doesn't look badly treated on his handicap debut off a mark of 70. This Is The Day has flattered to deceive in the past but there wasn't a lot wrong with her latest second at Epsom and she should find a race before the end of the campaign.
