After victories over 1m2f at Nottingham and Leicester, ELHAAME tried this trip for the first time in a heritage handicap at Ascot and ran a superb race. The pace was slow and it was a dash for the line so his stamina has to be taken on trust but he looks a nice prospect on a fair mark. Kiwayu has no problems with track or trip having won here in July and he was returning from a short break over a shorter trip at Carlisle. Lahaag has won twice over a mile but has yet to prove conclusively that he stays this far but both Rio's Rosanna and Kashmir Peak arrive in very good heart and come with the bonus of having fine claimers on board.
