Lightly-raced gelding. 11/2, thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Cork (6f, soft) 81 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kieran Cotter and can't be ruled out if it sparks a resurgence.

Thrice-raced gelding. 12/1, best effort when second of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft) 10 days ago, keeping on well. Likely to improve again. Big shout.

Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Joshua R. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Noteworthy newcomer, especially if market vibes are positive.

Verdict

ELUSIVE EMPIRE took a big step forward when runner-up at Salisbury last time and looks the way to go here with further progress on the cards from Archie Watson's son of Territories. Ex-Irish Capital Guarantee has the form to play a big part too if hitting the ground running for his new yard. Newcomer Initio is another to consider if the market speaks in his favour.
