It might pay to side with EDDY here. His recent form is a little misleading, as he was only beaten 9L when fifth last time, and was travelling very well when falling the time before. It may be it is taking him a little while to recover from a recent absence and though he's never won a race under rules he has run consistently well in the past and surely has a race in him at some point. Highland Life is one of the only recent winners in the field and looks a progressive type, so is one to consider, as well as Cafe Au Lait, who may not yet have shown his full potential at intermediate trips.
