In depth

Verdict

A 22,000 euros purchase, Imperial Elixir is an interesting newcomer. Fresh New Dawn was second in a point-to-point at Loughrea in April and changed hands for £20,000 in June. Siannes Star and Theatre Legend are likely improvers but BUY MISTAKE won at Hexham in August and just failed to follow up under a penalty at Perth so looks the one to beat.
