Verdict
ECLIPTIC SUNRISE only had to be pushed out to land a better contest than this over a slightly shorter trip here last week. It's no surprise that he's turned out again under a penalty and a follow-up looks to be on the cards. Hipz' recent third here came over 7f on softer ground while Compton Prince is an infrequent winner but Bold Max has been going well on Tapeta and Lingfield third Gypsy Rider won here in 2013. Encapsulated is often thereabouts but a strike-rate of 1-24 is off-putting.
