In depth
Verdict
Not too many in here have much of a chance and it looks to be a straightforward match between Rasid and Eternelle. Both have been basically disappointing to date but TEAMtalk preference goes to the former as the form of his Lingfield maiden run has worked out well and he showed he liked soft ground on his debut as a two-year-old. Mubahath has to be feared from an in-form stable but his debut effort last month needs to be improved upon.
