Verdict

EATON COLLINA eventually got the hang of things over fences last season and had excuses at Wetherby on his return, so is worth another chance off what remains a decent mark. Desque de L'isle bounced back to form when winning at Lingfield on his first attempt at this trip and is the obvious threat ahead of Sure Touch.

  1. EATON COLLINA (IRE)
  2. DESQUE DE L'ISLE (FR)
  3. SURE TOUCH
