Verdict
Eddery appears to have another strong ride as the Irishman partners Fast Track who has every chance of completing a four-timer. The son of Doyoun was highly regarded when in training with Sir Michael Stoute as a three-year-old before losing his way but has proved a revelation since a switch to current connections having trotted up on his last three starts here. The five-year-old is still thrown in on his old turf handicap mark and will prove very hard to beat despite a subsequent 12lb rise since his latest victory. Celtic Mill has been most consistent having won twice over course and distance of late and was a close runner-up last time. However, the son of Celtic Swing has gone up a further 4lb since and will struggle to concede so much weight to the selection. Fact O' The Matter and Dunedin Rascal have been in good heart and both have place claims while Teehee scraped home over C&D late last month but this is tougher off a 4lb higher mark.
