In depth
Verdict
Elmono was headed right on the line by Federici here four weeks ago but is giving a lot of weight away to the likes of Trumps Benefit and DEE STAR. The latter clearly likes it here, though has been rather harshly raised 3lb for a second last time behind Stop The World. Shanroe Street is very hit-and-miss but back on a winning mark, though lacks a recent run. Uttoxeter third Henrietta Bell should enjoy this greater test of stamina and is worth a market check.
