A poor race of its kind for this track, with few set to get into it from what we have seen on the racecourse. Although it is never easy defying penalties at this level, EATON HILL might be good enough to do so after winning a significantly stronger race here on his hurdling debut. Jerrysback is an obvious danger, while good efforts from both Plus One and Robertson would not surprise.
1. Eaton Hill
