A competitive finale with EAGER TO BOW our selection, ahead of Cottonfields and Song of Praise. Pat Chamings gelding has had a very consistent year, having not been out of the places in six runs this year, with two wins to his name, albeit both of those were on the Brighton turf. He's shown he can handle this surface though, and the high draw is another positive. Jim Crowley's an eye-catching jockey booking, riding very well at the moment, and with an excellent strike rate here. Cottonfields drops in trip and looks a progressive sort, certainly at this kind of level, but he doesn't have a great draw. Song of Praise is back down below his last winning mark of more than a year ago, but hasn't found too much of late. Support for Philmack Dot Com could be significant given it's his first run since December, but to land the lucky last, we'll be siding with Eager To Bow.
