Verdict
Eastern Rules has been doing everything right and providing he stays this longer trip should be thereabouts again though Mick Halford also has a live chance with Elizabeth Coffee, who couldn't quite cope with Flavia Tatiana here last time. Joe Eile has won over 6f here and also scored over a mile and he's another untested over this trip. Maggie Neary has no problems staying but could need further so the vote goes to ARAGORN ROUGE, who ran well in a very strong maiden won by Ansaab here last month and has the scope to do better from what could prove a lenient mark.
