Verdict
ETON MES, At The Oche and Star Of Diamonds share the burden of top weight and are the trio to focus on. The latter stopped quickly after a mistake late on at Chepstow most recently but might do better dropping in class and back over hurdles. At The Oche has been consistent in this sphere and should progress now he steps up in trip. However, ETON MES has the more proven stamina and shades preference with a 5lb rise for winning at Uttoxeter readily manageable.
Expert View Verdict
Eton Mes is likely to prove popular after making a winning handicap debut on easy ground where he idled in front so likely had a bit in hand. He's open to further progress so is respected but it is top weight AT THE OCHE who makes most appeal. He proved he handled testing ground when finishing strongly up the Leicester hill last time suggesting that this step back up in trip would be of benefit. On his only previous start at around 2 1/2m he looked a slightly unlucky loser after being forced to switch but he can make amends off just 2lb higher here. Charlies Jetaway was highly tried in maidens and is another potential improver now handicapping. He may do best of the rest.
