Verdict
Eldritch is a son of Dark Angel so his stamina will have to be taken on trust, though he is a half-brother to a middle-distance winner. Dubawi Prince is likely to prove better than he showed at Windsor and True Romance showed some ability at Redcar but Pennington will be qualified for handicaps after this. The Nathanial colt NATHAN MAYER could be the pick of the newcomers on breeding. His dam has produced winners over a variety of trips and this looks the weaker of the two divisions of this maiden.
