In depth
Verdict
ESHAAB takes a step up in trip having failed to land the odds in a more competitive maiden here on his reappearance. Ed Dunlop's charge should make amends in this company as David's Folly and Magical Marvin finished a long way behind him last time. The one note of caution is that he was beaten by a Mark Johnston-trained newcomer last time and the yard run another debutante in Nice Rose here. She's bred for middle-distances and is worth noting in the betting, while Life Of Laughter looks best of the remainder.
