In depth
Verdict
Lady Elysia has won twice at Bath recently and has claims in this if she translates Turf form to Tapeta. OLD FRIEND was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance last time and is getting closer so gets the vote as Tiger Zone has been hit-and-miss this term and is making his debut on the surface. International Law made late headway here on Saturday and could figure again if that hasn’t too much out of him with Maldonado another one to consider, though he hung under pressure when second here a month ago.
