In depth
Verdict
Stage School looks the one to beat here with Eloquent Knight and Jazrawy the pair likely to give him the most to do. The selection ran a shocker at Newcastle last time and that run will have to be forgiven by her supporters here. However, she had previously won well at Catterick and she really catches the eye on breeding. She is stepped-up in trip today but she looks to have a leading chance in a moderate contest. Jazrawy rates the main danger as he has shown some promise in better races than this. He failed to see out the trip last time at Ripon and he has been a little disappointing in his two runs so far this season, but on the pick of his form from last year he would have a live chance. Eloquent Knight has run well on each of his last three starts and he looks to have solid place prospects. However, he is a little one-paced and for that reason others are preferred today. Haiban is from a yard that are beginning to find their form so he is another to note in the market, but for the winner we return to Stage School.
