Verdict
Course and distance winner Elysees struggled in better company than this last time but is still 8lb higher than his earlier success. Artarmon was beaten in handicaps before landing a maiden race at Catterick while this is tougher than the race Burn Some Dust won at Newcastle last week. Dazzling Rock may do better now handicapping for the first time but MOON OF BARODA has been gelded since placing at Doncaster on his handicap debut and with further progress expected, Charlie Hills’ grey gets the vote in this.
