Verdict
Eglish is 4-24 here and though on a long losing run his last success came off a higher mark. No Speed Limit was also on a losing run before justifying favouritism on Friday where he had just a head to spare over Pillar though a penalty hands the initiative to the runner-up. COLLECTIVE POWER had been running well before dropping back to 5f and losing his maiden tag in a maiden. The longer trip won't be a problem and the runner-up was beaten just a head here on Friday so Eddie Lynam's charge can complete a double. Roxette is gradually dropping to a winnable mark and got no sort of run here on Friday.
