      Verdict

      EDDIE BOY is an interesting at this level gets the vote ahead of Jonnie Skull, Repealed and Liberty Lodge. The last named is a nicely bred type that was disappointing on debut last season. However, he has been given plenty of time to get the hang of things and should not be underestimated in a weak race like this. The same comments apply to Repealed, whose yard have been hitting the post of late and a change of fortune is surely just around the corner. This fellow is a half-brother to a 10-furlong winner, so should be seen to better effect over this longer trip. Jonnie Skull has strung together a series of near misses and is in danger of becoming frustrating. However, he holds experience of the course and, as he is unexposed at the trip, an improved effort cannot be ruled out. Nevertheless, Eddie Boy sets the standard on what they have shown so far and, as this may be a touch easier than going straight into a handicap for his seasonal debut, the Michael Bell-trained is taken as the most attractive betting proposition. The step up in trip and booking of Jamie Spencer also suggest Eddie Boy's connections mean business today.
