Plenty of pace from Follow The Master, Coppola and Sky Pillar Rock vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. SKY PILLAR ROCK (8) is better than recent form suggests. Drawn better this time and should be close to the speed. Gets chance to break through. FOLLOW THE MASTER (4) could not have been more impressive with a 10 length maiden win last time. This tougher but nice weight and can measure up again. EIGER SANCTION (2) ran a much better race last time when runner-up. Yet to hit the frame in three starts here but has raced in tougher grade and drawn to feature. Go close with a repeat of latest. FUTUREWOLFF (3) was a winner here two back then placed here last time. Drawn for a soft run and on recent form should feature again.
