Forecasts

Gibside (6/4), King Eagle (11/4), Trojan Horse (7/2), Belle Of Annandale (6/1), Kalahari Prince (20/1)

Verdict

KING EAGLE appears to have benefited from a wind operation judged on his effort in a 1¼m Chelmsford novice last month and is of strong interest now upped in trip for this handicap debut. He gets the nod ahead of Trojan Horse, who is greatly respected off this reduced mark but his best form to date has come on slower ground. Gibside and Belle of Annandale both need considering, too.

  1. KING EAGLE (IRE)
  2. TROJAN HORSE (IRE)
  3. GIBSIDE
