Verdict
ETERNAL GLORY made a winning start in handicaps with a victory at Pontefract. Mark Johnston’s filly looks capable of further progress and can defy a penalty. The remainder all go handicapping for the first time and Tinkerstar finished in front of a disappointing Vieux Carre when third at Thirsk last time. He looks the main threat with Matty Too best of the rest.
