Verdict

Eternal Bloom returns to the scene of her recent success and can regain the winning thread at the expense of Bells Boy's and Blunham. Mel Brittain's mare was most impressive when beating Court Music by five lengths on that occasion, despite carrying her head very high. She wasn't disgraced at Wolverhampton two days later when second to Dafa and will take all the beating. Bells Boy's has been rated in the 50's and looked to be returning to somewhere near his best when third here behind Lady Protector over the five furlong trip with today's rival Blunham just behind. Bells Boy's appears to be better suited by today's distance and should come out on top again. Of the rest Champagne Rider could find his way into the shake up but Eternal Bloom should be the one to lead them all home.
