Secret Eagle¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| D

8/1

Improved from debut when landing 7-runner novice at Catterick (5f, heavy, 50/1), all out. Off 140 days. Form is solid but he's conceding weight to one with better form.

Air Time⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

10/3

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at this C&D (11/2) 7 days ago. Bit to find but it's still early days and this is a weak event.

Form: 64

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in minor event (100/1) at Kempton (6f). Off 111 days.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| BF

8/1

Once-raced maiden. 3/1, seventh of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) on debut, doing too much too soon. Off 8 months. Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 7-

8/13

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, first run since leaving James Tate when bit below form second of 8 in maiden at this C&D 7 days ago. The one to beat.

Forecasts

High Security (8/13), Air Time (10/3), Ehrmann (8/1), Secret Eagle (8/1), Breezyandbright (25/1), Uptoon Girl (25/1)

HIGH SECURITY stands out on form and was only denied by the barest of margins when second over C&D a week ago, so he's likely to gain compensation. Secret Eagle, the only winner in the field (at Catterick when last seen 140 days ago), could pose a threat if tuned up for his return.
