EL RIO built on the promise of his hurdling debut when making all at Ascot in April, possibly helped by the switch to a right-handed track, and he can score again with the step up in trip to suit. East India Express looked a useful prospect when winning his only start in bumpers and is respected, with Much Too Dear completing the shortlist.
