      Verdict

      This stiff track should suit Veloce, who got going too late over the trip at Nottingham earlier this month. But this can go to the well-bred ETERNAL HEART, who won easily on his second start at Musselburgh. He's been done no favours by the handicapper here but has plenty of scope for improvement and hails from a family that generally improve with age. Kempton winner Achalas is probably worth opposing under a penalty, while Hollow Tree didn't really shown enough on his return to action to suggest he'll be winning soon. Jacobs Son was easily brushed aside off this mark at Leicester and Musawama has a bit prove over this trip and disappointed when favourite over 1m2f at Epsom last month.
