Verdict

Preference is for ETERNAL ANGEL who has been going the right way for Tom Lacey this season, progressing again when third in a Cartmel handicap last month. With a sharp 2m in his favour he is fancied to land a third success of the campaign, though Loriko isn't taken lightly for the Skeltons.

1	Made a successful stable debut in maiden at Huntingdon in May and, in first-time hood, also scored easily in a Uttoxeter novice last month. Good third in handicap at Cartmel last time and he can make another bold bid back in novice company. 1st Pick 1 Eternal Angel (Fr) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: Tom Lacey J: Jonathan Burke T: Tom Lacey	92	-	-	-	84%

2	Off the mark when beating his sole rival at Huntingdon in May, before also landing the odds in a Uttoxeter novice (2m) the following month. Went close to landing the hat-trick in novice here (21f) last time and he's respected, for all this sharp 2m might not be ideal. 2nd Pick 2 Loriko (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	46%

4	Shaped like a stayer in a trio of bumpers (trained by Christian Williams on first 2 starts) and made no impression on hurdling debut when seventh of 8 in novice at Worcester in June. Looks one for further down the line. 3rd Pick 4 Mayo Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: James Bowen T: Mickey Bowen	73	-	-	-	4%	Scratched
