VELVET ELVIS was reinvigorated by the return to chasing and the addition of cheekpieces when running the race of his life to finish second in the Thyestes Chase at Gowran last month and can go one better with the headgear again sported. Cork scorer Kings Halo is next on the list, with course winner Favori de Champdou and in-form Will Do also in the mix. St Denis's Well completes the shortlist.
