A cracking handicap full of progressive sorts that should provide plenty of future winners. ETERNAL HEART has scored very decisively the last twice and showed herself to be a stamina-laden young lady when powering away in a Sandown handicap last time. One of four entries from her yard, she is taken to prevail at the expense of stable companion Swift Alhaarth. The latter has also posted clear cut successes the last twice but was arguably allowed things his own way at Chester and it's unlikely the same circumstances will prevail here. Captain Brown has be of interest in his first handicap with Rosie Jessop taking off a further 5lb and the unexposed Mulaqen must be included in this trappy equation too.
