Verdict

Eaton Hill has not been easy to train but reappears on his lowest-ever mark and it would be no surprise to see him in the firing-line in a race like this. Maiden winner Carys' Commodity sports blinkers after a modest comeback run at Cartmel but is giving 8lb to TANGO ECHO CHARLIE, who makes his handicap debut after placing three times over similar trips in novice company this season. Fontley House won over 3m at Kempton around this time last year and can’t be ignored despite not having raced since January.
