ELIXIR DE NUTX lost his way a little in the spring but shaped as if retaining ability on his reappearance at Ascot and looks interesting with that run behind him now back in a smaller field (could dominate). He's given the vote, ahead of last year's winner Xcitations, and the lightly-raced Notlongtillmay, who looks set to make a better chaser than hurdler judged on his recent win at Wetherby.
