The likeable EAGLE'S REALM failed to land the four-timer last time but he is still a horse on an upward curve and he ran well enough in second to think he could get back to winning ways here. The winner made all last time and he just couldn't get to grips with him but came clear from the rest. He stays well and if he can relax a bit better in the early part of the race he will hopefully be finishing best. Zephlyn who beat him last time actually opposes again but a 5lb rise asks for more and I doubt he'll get an easy lead. I can see I'm Too Tired emerging as a greater danger as he can improve again too.

The hat-trick looks to be on the cards for BREEZE OF WIND here. He has looked progressive recently winning impressively at Hexham and then following up in good style at Uttoxeter. He is obviously up in weight again but there should still be more to come given his unexposed profile and I'm confident of him taking the beating once more. Wavelength wasn't disgraced in fourth last time and that was a return to form so if he builds on that again he could emerge as the main danger. Our Friend Mo needs to step forward but should have a bigger performance in him sooner rather than later.
