Verdict

Popcorn Eddie beat LOVETHATCAUSE (NAP) half-a-length here in February and there was an even bigger gap back to Luck Check but David Anderson’s gelding has since left that form behind in another couple of placed efforts. Reunited with Nathan Haar and drawn against the rail, he’ll take some stopping today. Jake Olesiak switches to Tizpure but he almost certainly needs further and L B Gold looks a bigger danger. He’s lost the winning habit but has placed three times over 6f here recently. Front Office hasn’t been disgraced in three runs here since the turn of the year but is likely to come up short again.
