In depth
Verdict
Eventually has shown enough to suggest a small race is within his grasp, but this looks a hot little heat and may take a bit of winning. Foss Way, shaped well on his debut behind the useful Greek Revival and he looks the one to beat. Stablemates Flying Express, a half-brother to eight winners and Zeuss a never nearer fifth on his debut, may need more time, while Ocean Song, who holds an entry in the Gimcrack Stakes, is sure to have his followers, but the runners from that yard have tended to improve for the outing.
