Verdict
Zig Zag Zyggy won this back in 2018 but that was his only success here and though Geological is an eight-times track winner he's never won over the minimum trip, nor has Eglish. Red Cymbal is also better over further these days but Eruption would have a chance on his Turf form though he's yet to reach a place in five starts here. Havana Notion hasn't won in seven starts here but INISHMOT PRINCE came good around this time last year with three quick victories and is back on a winnable mark with his rider's claim taken into account.
