Verdict

Eton College remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Ascot last month and Making History also has something to prove off his current mark having won over 7f earlier. Hard Nut was partnered by Ryan Moore when beaten in better company at York recently but Champagne Supanova takes a big step up in class along with Taste The Nectar after scoring over track and trip last week. X FORCE is another facing a tougher task having won a novice race at Wolverhampton last time. But he’s been gelded subsequently and Archie Watson’s charge gets the vote with further progress expected on his handicap debut.
