Verdict

A cracking handicap. EAGLEHILL faces his stiffest assignment yet over fences but Olly Murphy's 7-y-o arrives firmly on the up and is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick now he gets the chance to tackle this longer trip. Handily-weighted Accordingtogino is sure to present a stern challenge for the in-form Skelton team with Benevolentdictator a big threat too after his break.
