Verdict
A typically wide-open handicap with plenty of winning form on display. Get Home Now chases a four-timer but has shot up the weights and the yard also run the less-exposed Potters Story. Hallings Comet has won four of his last five while Vivas made a winning return to action at Uttoxeter. Fool To Cry and Trans Express are still fairly treated and there should be more to come this season from One Forty Seven and Cake de L'Isle. Master Dancer bolted up over 2m on the Flat recently so is also worth a second look along with Creep Desbois but EATON HILL was a progressive novice last season and beat Mount Mews, now rated 145, at Wetherby in January. An opening mark of 126 could be very lenient on that evidence.
