ELSINORE confirmed the promise of his debut by finishing a close-up second last time and needs only to repeat that performance to go one better. FENCING CAPTAIN has been costly to follow but gelding could prove a masterstroke. Experienced fillies MRS SHACKLETON and FLEUR DE VILLE should acquit themselves competitively over this trip, while newcomers FLYPAST and LHASA PALACE don't have to be special to make their presence felt. Unexposed COSMIC CLIFFS could improve over this shorter distance to earn a cheque.
