Verdict
John Dunlop saddles both King Eider and Kristal Forest in this closing event with the market likely to favour the former. Kristal Forest however looks interesting coming into a handicap for the first time and stepping up to a new and probably more suitable trip than the ten furlongs over which she raced last time. With Pat Eddery in the plate Kristal Forest shouldn't be far away. King Eider looked a little one-paced last time when beaten at Salisbury and looks vulnerable to a better handicapped sort, of whom Cyber Santa could be a danger having run well of late and now has the considerable services of one K Falllon.
