Verdict
Marginal preference is for Eton in an open race with My Daisychain and Khuzdar the others to concentrate on. Eton ran a big race last time at Catterick and a reproduction of that effort could be good enough here with the very capable Liam Treadwell taking over from Alex Greaves in the plate. My Daisychain is also running well at present and with the Mark Johnston yard firing on all cylinders, looks a big danger. These two are likely to be fighting it out at the finish, while for those seeking a live outsider, it could be worth taking a chance on Khuzdar. The Mick Channon charge has been disappointing of late but is capable of better. Khuzdar could therefore be good enough to run into a place, but we are happy to side with Eton who should just have too much for the consistent My Daisychain.
