STRIKING didn't show much on the level for Jessica Harrington but has since upped his game significantly over hurdles. If he can translate a portion of that ability to the Flat, he's more than capable of cashing in on this mark. Ellaat has transferred to Charles Byrnes and a market move would look very significant, with Elle Dorado Rock another to consider.
