Verdict

Eye On The Prize has a rating of 101 based on two victories in Uruguay but made no show on his debut here a fortnight ago though he had Jebel Ali winner Flying Hunter behind. Cosmic Kid has won three times in Turkey and made a promising debut over 7f on Turf here three weeks ago though has never raced on the surface. Go Soldier Go hails from a yard in form and was staying on over 7f earlier this month while Lahresh, well behind Flying Hunter at Jebel Ali, made great strides to finish a close second over a mile here last month where he had Mr Precocious behind. RISE AND SHINE has been racing on Polytrack in France, scoring over the trip at Deauville last month. If taking to the surface she looks progressive enough to complete a double.
