In depth
Verdict
Turn On The Charm drops down in trip having won twice over a mile last year but ETON COLLEGE gets another chance. The latter was upped in class at Newmarket last time having won in this grade at Musselburgh before that and also scored off today’s mark last season. Asad has a shout on a recent second on the all-weather but Love Dreams only won a seller at Wolverhampton last month.
