Verdict

ERAGON DE CHANAY has been consistent of late and gets on well with this rider. He made the frame here in November and, having twice raced over 2m at Sandown since, is perhaps being underestimated in the betting now returned to this distance. He can outrun his price. Cases can be made for many, with The Eaglehaslanded worth a try down in distance and a 9lb rise far from certain to halt C&D winner Myplaceatmidnight. Dan Mcgrue, Peak To Peak and Townshend must be noted for market moves, the latter having dropped to a good rating and the former pair returning from absences with clear hopes if fit enough.
  1. Eragon De Chanay
