Cheekpieces on for the first time when opening account for George Boughey at Epsom last month. Badly hampered early in the Wolferton so that run easy to forgive and he's back in a handicap starting out for a new yard. Considered.

Much improved this term on the back of another breathing op, scoring at Chester in May and in John Smith's Cup at York 17 days ago. Has a career-high mark to overcome now but he still can't be taken lightly.

Useful ex-French 1m/9f winner who posted a solid third of 4 in Prix Messidor at Chantilly (1m, good) 16 days ago. Can't be discounted now stepping up in trip on his yard/handicap debut.

Third in last year's Irish 2000 Guineas but below that form since. Slightly better signs when fifth in Epsom Group 3 in June and raced in unfavoured centre when 23rd in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last time. More is needed in a first-time hood.

Course winner when under the care of David Menuisier. Shaped well on only his second run for current yard when third of 8 in 10f handicap at Epsom in April. Interesing after a break with Ryan Moore (won on him twice before) back in the saddle.

Rapid improver in handicaps last year, completing a 5-timer at this meeting. In excellent form this term too until coming in last of ten in listed event at Pontefract last month. Sort to bounce back.

Arrives on the up and opened his account for 2023 in 13-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Haunted Dream. Up 4 lb but well in the mix.

Enhanced his good strike rate on the AW when scoring at Chelmsford in April and comes here on the back of a cracking third of 18 to Pride of America in John Smith's Cup at York. This reliable sort must enter calculations.

Placed form at highest level as a 3-y-o when trained in France and he has made a very pleasing start for his current yard, off 8 months before running-on seventh of 18 to Pride of America in John Smith's Cup at York. Very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Comfortably landed 1m handicap at Newmarket in May. Ridden too aggressively when twenty sixth of 30 in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last time so no surprise to see him get back on track for yard which has excellent record in this event.

Most progressive last summer, winning all of his 4 starts, and he resumed from 10 months off with a promising runner-up in 10f Yarmouth handicap five days ago. Has more to offer so this low-mileage 4-y-o holds excellent claims off an unchanged mark.

Made excellent strides in handicaps last year, gaining third success at Beverley (10f) in August. Posted a good third at Lingfield (10f) 26 days ago so possibilities off an easing mark.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who resumed progress on back of 7 months off when landing 10f York handicap in May. Tongue tied when only fair sixth at Epsom since so more is needed.

C&D winner but he's an unreliable sort overall and came in only eleventh of 13 to Lord Protector in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 24 days ago. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Eagle's Way (10/3), Millebosc (7/2), Lord Protector (13/2), Pride Of America (8/1), Haunted Dream (10/1), Paradias (11/1), Moktasaab (16/1), Caius Chorister (18/1), Outbreak (20/1), Soto Sizzler (22/1), Marhaba The Champ (25/1), Imperial Fighter (28/1), Ancient Rome (33/1), Kitsune Power (33/1), Cadillac (40/1), Satono Japan (66/1)

Verdict

EAGLE'S WAY failed in his bid for a five-timer when runner-up at Yarmouth last week but still posted a promising effort after ten months off the track so Sir Mark Prescott's improver is taken to resume winning ways. William Haggas' Millebosc caught the eye when seventh in the John Smith's Cup last time and heads the list of dangers, although the quartet of Soto Sizzler, Outbreak, Haunted Dream and Paradias all have plenty to recommend them too in this ultra-competitive handicap.
