Verdict

EATON MILLER won twice last season for Ryan Potter and made an encouraging reappearance when second at Taunton after 10 months off. He can build on that effort to return to winning ways here. His main danger could be the unexposed Breizh Alko who is now upped in trip back over fences with Brian Hughes booked to ride. Firenzo is also lightly raced and could bounce back in reapplied cheekpieces.
