Invincible One is rated 75 on last year’s efforts on Turf and is weighted to get the better of Zaula with the latter getting a change of headgear. Invincible Sea finished a lot closer over 7f last time but it would be no surprise if one of the newcomers proved good enough. Creek Island makes little appeal on pedigree and Puzzle is bred for further while the E180,000 purchase Physics, a half-brother to five winners, is already gelded and wears a tongue-tie. But EARDLEY ROAD is related to a couple of winners on the all-weather and Clive Cox’ No Nay Never colt may be the one to side with.
Creek Island (IRE) Iffraaj colt out of Jumeirah Palm Star.
Eardley Road (IRE) No Nay Never colt out of Corking.
