Verdict

Not the best of events to close the card but when Pat Eddery rides for John Dunlop at Nottingham, the Irishman is never usually that far off the mark. And the paring of the former Champion jockey and In Xanadu are sure to have their supporters. The son of Persian Bold should improve for the step up in trip and has shown more ability than his two finishing positions would suggest. The shortlist also includes Words And Deeds, Effie Gray and Cat¿s Whiskers; who are likely to go well. But preference in an open looking event is for Changing Guard, who won a shade cosily last time and could start at a bigger price than he should as he steps up in trip.
