      Verdict

      Prince Of Eagles had a couple of promising runs over a mile before landing a Lingfield maiden over that trip. An opening handicap mark of 77 isn't doing any favours but another big run is expected. COTTONOPOLIS was conceding the well-supported winner 13lb when runner-up over the trip at Lingfield and is definitely the type to improve so gets the vote in receipt of 9lb. Soldier On Parade showed nothing in his first two starts but did better over a mile at Lingfield and makes his handicap debut. Shumba has produced two poor runs on Tapeta but did better on his only Polytrack start at Kempton. Eventful showed potential for Hugo Palmer last season and didn't perform badly for new connections at Lingfield 10 days ago.
