Forecasts

Pilansberg (1/25), Eaton Hill (13/8), Hab Sab (12/1)

This is a straight match between Eaton Hill and PILANSBERG. The former was a shade fortunate to beat the useful Mount Mews at Wetherby but the fourth has scored since so there is merit in the performance. PILANSBERG looked a tricky sort in a good handicap at Ascot last time and had done so previously at Fakenham. He undoubtedly is the pick on form but his quirky nature suggests he is capable of squandering the opportunity.
