Verdict

David Loder's Etesaal will be a short price to lose his maiden tag. He shaped with plenty of promise on soft ground at Newmarket, before getting tired, but this faster ground should bring about the necessary improvement. He may be followed home by the filly Tuscan Sky, who was not disgraced behind the useful Huja at Kempton. Newcomers The Persuader and Cayman Breeze may do best of the rest.
