While there is no doubt that Bishops Bounty had something in hand at the finish, it would have been a very interesting contest had Elevated jumped on terms.
Elevated is definitely one for the notebook, and I would expect him to improve further over more ground.

Agree was a very promising run by Elevated, especially as trainer before race admitted he was a bit underdone and would need further.
Not sure he was ever going to be a match for the winner, but if you assume the winner is top drawer and the form with the third horse is valid, then Elevated is a pretty exciting prospect.
