Verdict
Eastern Breeze could do with a victory for the paddocks and showed that there is probably a race in her on her second start at Windsor. Eagle Rock couldn't cope with Shalloon on her debut at Ripon but stayed on nicely when getting the hang of things and will have come on for the experience. Chokidar should be winning soon judged on his fine effort in a Newmarket handicap last time but NORDIC SKY, from a yard in top form, made a very promising start to his career at Yarmouth last year and Kieren Fallon's booking suggests he's ready to do the business after a long break.
