    Verdict

    A disappointing turn-out for this decent prize and Eta Draconis can continue the Godolphin revival, Billich and Kapellmeister look the main dangers. The selection made a winning debut at Redcar, beating two promising types from top yards. He didn't get the best of runs but stayed on strongly to lead near the line. The extra furlong should come in handy and a big run is expected. Billich landed a Yarmouth maiden in good style but has since been well beaten in two handicaps. The handicapper may have gone abit overboard with his assessment and he may need to drop a few pounds before winning again. Kapellmeister is on the upgrade and comfortably landed a seller at Windsor last time. He doesn't look too badly treated this evening and should be in the shake up. Phone In is a consistent sort but has found it hard to win and may struggle again tonight. Which leads us back to the selection, which is Eta Draconis.
