It could pay to give another chance to ECLIPTIC SUNRISE in this. Des Donovan's filly was only caught in the closing stages over 5f at Wolverhampton three weeks ago attempting to make all with both Quality Art and Artemis behind. The latter has since gone close at this track and is another to consider while the inconsistent Bubbly Bailey also has a shout if posting one of his better efforts. Senator Bong tumbled down the weights last year and could bounce back at any time.
