In depth

Verdict

ELSIE'S ORPHAN continues to improve and scored over C&D on her latest start. As that was her first outing over today's trip, she should be capable of better still and gets the vote to follow-up. Requisite also won over track and trip in September, but she was three lengths behind fourth-placed Sakhee's Pearl back at this track last time and the latter can confirm running. Sermons Mount has gone off the boil since winning over 6f in August and Sir Mozart has been well beaten of late, though he has claims on the best of his form over today's trip.
