Verdict
ELLIPSISM showed there was a staying race waiting for him when a god fourth over 2m4f at Limerick then stepped up to 3m1f at Kilbeggan and duly obliged. That was only his fifth run and though 9lb higher looks one to follow. His stable companion Chess Grand Master has yet to win over hurdles but ran very well at Galway while Walking On Glass arrives in cracking form though has never been this far. Mindsmadeup has improved out of all recognition over fences and if transferring to hurdles has to be a major threat from 18lb lower. Le Hachette easily landed a Ballinrobe maiden and was only caught close home in a handicap on a return visit so is another with prospects.
