In a race devoid of early speed Elrond is the most likely to find the front. The well-related HIGHGROVE ROSE (15) (half to G2 winner Not An Option) is on the doorstep of a maiden victory with consecutive runner-up finishes this time in work and this is not an overly strong affair. Draws the inside marble and should be right there when the whips are cracking. ELROND (4) is yet to miss a drum in four spins around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looms as the main danger. EXPRESS STAR (5) has placed three of five overall and gets some weight off with the 1.5kg claim. Top-three candidate. CLENCH (3) has been readied for the return with a trial and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highgrove Rose to break through.
