The Cockney Squire stepped up to 2m4f at Clonmel last time and ran easily his best race to date so it's a surprise to see him back over the minimum trip. KING ELOI has changed stables since his introduction at Southwell in February where he ran well enough to suggest he should be capable of scoring at this level. Both Short Grass and Top Four will have benefited from their debut efforts and should be noted in the market while Force Of Habit, though a flop on the level, is the type to do well at this game.
