      Verdict

      This longer trip should see ESCHOLIDO in the winners' enclosure, at the main expense of Fists And Stones. With relations winning over a mile plus, Barry Hills' colt has run two good races to date but looks bound to improve for the extra furlong today. Brave Battle improved from first to second runs and is considered on this third start, especially if there is nay market support for the David Barker owned colt. Fists And Stones has run in two good maidens, the latest won by subsequent Group-placed Big Issue, and he is another who should improve for tackling seven furlongs. Perfect Mission shaped with more promise on his debut than the Tobougg filly Skeleton, whilst Hawdyerwheesht looks more of a nursery type.
