Eijaaz, Chookie Windsor and Prince Valentine are the three to consider here in this open affair and Eijaaz is taken to come out on top. Prince Valentine is still a maiden in 32 starts but he has run well in defeat on many occasions and wasn't beaten far on his last two starts at Kempton. In this weak affair though he has a chance. Chookie Windsor won a claimer two outings ago but then was well beaten in a handicap last time. He is eased in class here though and has a live chance. Eijaaz won a seller at this time last year and shaped well in a similar contest last time. He is a consistent type and does have a couple of wins to his credit unlike a number of his opponents. He ran well on his last visit to the track and Eijaaz is taken to land his third win.
