Forecasts

Verdict

A few with chances but EAGLE RIDGE looked well ahead of his mark when an impressive C&D scorer earlier in the month so is taken to defy a 7 lb penalty. Brotherly Company is sure to provide a stern test on the back of his own recent victory here with Oscar Ceremony another with good course form to consider in a competitive handicap.
