Verdict

Nine C&D winners go to post in what looks to be a competitive sprint for the grade ETERNAL SUN is one of the more lightly-raced types in this who has already shown that she can handle this surface well. Should get the strong pace that she needs here and looks sure to make a bold bid to score again. Warrior’s Valley and Something Lucky are two of the main dangers with five C&D wins between then, both have run sound races of late. Point Zero remains something of an enigma but he can’t be ignored on a surface he goes well on with Mininggold and Casterbridge two others to consider.
  1. Eternal Sun
  2. Warrior's Valley
  3. Something Lucky
