EL ELEFANTE faced a tough task in the Rossington Main at Doncaster last time, when she was also unsuited by the emphasis on speed, so she is taken to resume winning ways returned to this longer trip back down in grade. Micks Jet opened her hurdles account easily 19 days ago and is feared most with further improvement to come, ahead of Kay Tara Tara.
