A winner over this trip in the French provinces, Eternal Gift may figure on his first start for Rae Guest while the consistent Our Boy Jack would have been a strong fancy with a better draw. GAUL WOOD has an absence to overcome but won his maiden on the Polytrack at Lingfield when last seen in January and may well have improved in the interim. He can take this as Newbury winner Shamrocked has been drawn out with the washing and Lolita Lebron hasn't fared much better and was drawn low when scoring over a mile here last month. Verse Of Love could prove best of the rest in an open contest.
