    Verdict

    ELVIC made a winning debut Archie Watson’s yard when making all at Leicester. There looks more to come on the Turf and she can defy a penalty and confirm latest running with Granary Queen. The latter had earlier scored over track and trip while Mellys Flyer posted an improved effort at Catterick on his handicap debut and is not out of this. Khufu is upped in distance but Lady Susie drops down in trip having placed over a mile here in April.
