Verdict

EASTERN FIRE looks the clear pick of the Dan Skelton-trained quartet here and gets a confident vote to make amends for his last-flight fall at Perth (upsides winner) on his recent hurdling bow and add to his earlier bumper success. Stablemate Blackswan D'Oroux could emerge as the one to chase him home ahead of fellow hurdling debutant Oykel Bridge and the returning Wallquatari.
