Verdict
Oriental Relation won over 6f at Chelmsford last month and can race off a lower mark here having never won on turf before. Casterbridge beat Indian Tinker in testing ground at Nottingham in October and the latter re-opposes on better terms while Eternitys Gate failed to win last year and gets help from the saddle today with Josh Doyle's 3lb allowance. Be Bold won a maiden race over 5f in 2014 but has competed over longer trips since then and a chance is taken on NOODLES BLUE BOY in this. He was beaten less than a length on his seasonal reappearance in last year's renewal and can race off the same mark today.
