Forecasts

Eagleway (2/1), Edraak (5/2), Mehmento (7/2), Stone Soldier (5/1), Kind Review (9/1)

EAGLEWAY is thriving for Ivan Furtado at present and looks the way to go under a 5 lb penalty for his C&D success with that form already being franked. Edraak didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Kempton last time and is feared most with Stone Soldier not discounted after his break.
