Verdict
ETON BLUE won over track and trip on his reappearance with both New Heights and Ruby Red Empress behind and this looks no tougher despite a 4lb rise. Culture finished closer at Kempton on his first start after wind surgery while Wonder Starelzaam attempts this longer trip for the first time and Swiss Mistress drops down in distance for her handicap debut. Tio Mi has only his second outing on Turf and may finish closer.
