Verdict

Eyes Of A Tiger has to be a leading player after running such a good race last time when runner-up at Perth after an absence of over 550 days. He's another on the card who could 'bounce' but is unquestionably shortlist material. Poker School finally came back to winning form last time for a first success since Boxing Day of 2016 and should be competitive off a 5lb higher mark but MONSIEUR CO (NAP) has been in really good heart this year and is expected to go close with conditions to suit off an unchanged mark. He holds Demi Sang on recent running at Kelso.
