Verdict

The recent form of Elsinora stands out like a beacon here and she is selected to continue on her way by registering a third victory within a month. Elliot's World is unreliable, so Clare Galway and Long Weekend are expected to give the selection the most to do. The last named has proved to be better on the all weather than turf and still has a little scope for improvement at the trip. He was taken off his hooves in truly run affair here on Saturday and looks ready for another crack at seven furlongs. Clare Galway appreciated the drop in trip when winning at Brighton ten days ago and should be thereabouts again if she is in the same frame of mind. She has experience of the track and can give the selection a few scares along the way. However, Elsinora seems to have thrived since switching hands for ¿3,000 after winning a claimer for Hughie Morrison and the case for sticking with the daughter of Great Dane is too compelling when the shaky profile of most of the rest is taken into account.
