Verdict
FROM EDEN made a successful debut for Gordon Elliott at Navan three weeks ago but couldn't quite cope with 7lb extra when runner-up to the in-form Thereisnodoubt at Gowran. He's gone up another 5lb and faces a threat from another newcomer to the stable in Alpha Indi, who only showed a glimmer of form in the UK but is on a lowly mark as a consequence. Take A Turn also runs for the yard though hasn't been going well but Cappuccino Man should get into contention judging by his recent form and he found 3m beyond him at Leopardstown last time. Solar Heat pops up every now and then and it wouldn't be a shock to see him involved.
