ETERNAL SUN returned an easy winner over track and trip back in September and is taken to continue her progress now handicapping for the first time. Secretinthepark won over 6f here in the same month and is 4lb higher but Pea Shooter went close over course and distance recently and makes more appeal. Becker is now back on a winning mark having won at Chelmsford back in April while Rock of Estonia slips further down the weights having landed a novice event over the minimum trip at Bath earlier in the year. Magic Pulse has a good strike rate on the all-weather and may prove best of the rest.
