Verdict

MIDNIGHT JADE and Riddlestown are the only ones in this who can be trusted judged on recent evidence. The former has not been given an easy task by the handicapper but she is a tough sort who is on the upgrade. Riddlestown usually runs well here and at this level. He looks the main threat to the selection whilst Eaton Rock may not be one to rely on but he usually makes the frame and looks booked to do so again.
  1. Midnight Jade
  2. Riddlestown
  3. Eaton Rock
