EDDIEMAURICE is back on a winning mark and showed he retains plenty of ability when fifth last time at Kempton. He could be the answer to a tricky finale, though Robinshill did win off a higher mark over fences last time having won twice over timber earlier. Ey Up Rocky represents last year’s winning stable but hasn’t run in two years while this may be too short for Star Of Rory and Nordic Combined. Deniliquin didn’t show much at Hereford and may need more time.
