In depth
Verdict
Bookmark and Epic Express have been disappointing in recent starts whereas EYES has produced competitive efforts on all three starts for Jessica Macey, including a solid run here last time when a fair third. This extra furlong should suit and she receives a decent amount of weight all round with Ben Sanderson's claim an additional bonus. Solomons Judgement has appreciated the step up to a mile the last twice and is respected off his unchanged mark but Twilight Song could prove the main danger after a sound third at Newmarket latest and now dropped to a career-low mark of 61.
