Eisteddfod set for step up in class

Eisteddfod may be upped in class after defying top weight of 9st 7lb for the second race running at the weekend.

The four-year-old was due to carry 9st 10lb at Windsor on Saturday but talented apprentice Nelson de Souza claimed 3lb to reduce the burden, and Eisteddfod duly defeated Presto Shinko by half a length.
