Verdict

If ELSASS is able to get back on track now switched to the all-weather he could be the answer. Indeed, he pulled nicely clear of the rest when edged out by an odds-on shot on his handicap debut at Doncaster in June and, though not at the same level in two subsequent starts, time is still on his side. Caspian King rates the main danger ahead of Blast The Dream and Live Each Day.

  2. CASPIAN KING (GER)
  3. BLAST THE DREAM
