Verdict
Eton College slips further down the ratings but is 0-6 on the all-weather. Giuseppe Cassioli is a course and distance winner who has also scored on Tapeta. Kondratiev Wave has won twice on Polytrack and Baby Steps would have a chance on his best form. Animal Instinct seems to go well fresh but has done most of his racing so far around Chelmsford and Miquelon is now on a career-high mark after a couple of recent victories. IL BANDITO has placed twice over a mile and was a winner on Tapeta last year. He’s been running well on Turf and deserves to get his head back in front.
