EYRE SQUARE wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in the mud here last time and can bounce back under these less testing conditions and gain a first win in this sphere. Chiricahua has the form to run Gavin Cromwell's mare close but needs to brush up his jumping. Friends N Commerce is another who can have a say and rates a solid place prospect.
