In depth

Verdict

Flora King is of interest for the reasons mentioned in division one but this time we'll take a chance with EASTLAKE. He represents top connections and also makes plenty of appeal on paper as he's a half-brother to a couple of useful performers familiar to British racegoers in Santenay and Chamirey and wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning start to his career. Brannoc is of interest for a yard that does well with a handful of runners in these contests and he, too, makes some appeal on paper whilst Shan Blue won his sole start in a point in Ireland and Steve Gollings has a one from one record in bumpers at the track in recent seasons. As is usually the case though, a market check is advised ahead of playing in either division.
