In depth
Verdict
ELLAAT has been progressing nicely and followed a Ballinrobe victory with a good run from 6lb higher at Killarney. He's up another 5lb but a mark of 57 probably underestimates him. Millford Sound was behind the selection in that latter event and looks held while Scotts Honour only landed a claimer in very testing ground at Ballinrobe and has moved yards. Clashaniska has been gelded and makes his handicap debut from the top of the weights while the lightly-raced Musalsal should do better now tackling a more suitable trip.
