ELDEST SON (4) had been threatening before breaking through for a deserved win last time over 1m at this track (Turf), scoring by 0. 8 lengths. Has a solid record at this circuit. Will prove tough to beat. RIGEL (1) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Genuine type with eight wins from 24 starts. Ticks all the right boxes. NOBLE FACTOR (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0. 3 lengths over 1m at this track (Turf). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Can feature again. CRUMLIN LAD (5) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten one length. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
