Eaton Rock is a lot better than he showed at Sandown last time and looks a danger here to ITS A LONG ROAD. But there is no reason why Tim Dennis' Exeter and Taunton winner can't complete his hat-trick in this slightly higher grade as he can race off the same mark as his latest victory taking into account Kieron Edgar's claim. Nick Schofield has ridden the selection in his last three starts but partners Dashaway here for Jeremy Scott and that one could go well making his handicap debut. The remainder would all need to improve on recent form if they are to figure.
