Verdict

A large field goes to post for this seller but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Eton, Donna's Double and Jordans Spark and the confident vote is given to Eton. The selection was a fair fourth behind Rare Coincidence in a handicap last time out. The return to this grade is sure to suit and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Donna's Double rates the main danger as she is another dropping in grade having been a fair third behind Court Of Appeal in a claimer last time, This looks easier but the draw could have been kinder to her. Jordans Spark is another that looks to be on a handy mark but his best form has been with more cut in the ground and with this in mind he is easily opposed. Ruby Legend is another with place claims but he has been tried over a variety of trips of late without success and he is becoming very exposed. Noble Pursuit is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Eton who looks to have everything in his favour.
