Another competitive race for a nice prize. Eton College is only 1lb higher than when scoring here in April while DANZAN has been going well over 6f and is on a fair mark. Tim Easterby's charge rarely runs over this trip but generally stays on and this could be his day. Be Proud's five victories have all been over the minimum while Lion Tower has scored twice over 6f and the same over a mile so the trip shouldn't be a problem. Coase has only ever run over 6f but Northernpowerhouse has won in better company and has scored over the track and trip. Defence Treaty folded tamely at York on Friday.
