Verdict

Having moved up the ranks in good style as a novice, ETALON looks to have been brought along gradually in the current campaign and he is now only 4 lb higher than for his impressive C&D success a year ago. He could be ready to return to winning ways, with Martator feared most given the progress he had shown when winning his first 2 starts this season, ahead of Gunsight Ridge.
