Verdict

There remains a definite sense of untapped potential with ELYSIAN FLAME over hurdles and he could be the way to go after a pleasing return at Leicester. Maninsane hasn't been seen since making a promising start in this sphere at Bangor 12 weeks ago but sets a good standard on that run. Happy Hollow is also well worth considering.
