EDE'IFFS ELTON wasn't shaping up at all badly late on last year, and having enhanced his solid record over this C&D when taking this race 12 months ago, he could well be ready to strike operating from only 1 lb higher now. Fantastikas, returned to calmer waters, and Wake Up Early may emerge as the chief threats.
