Eclipseoftheheart will prove popular having finished runner-up at Nottingham last time and likely to improve again, while Jumeira Field is another going the right way with a recent second at Lingfield to his name. ALWAYS LIKE THIS is related to a Group winner and was fancied in the betting for her debut at Wolverhampton in December. She found one too good on that occasion, but is given another chance on her comeback with Jamie Spencer booked. Spring Buck showed little at Southwell on his first start since 2008 and has a bit to prove now, while Darsan looks a newcomer to note.
