Forecasts

Eagle's Way (6/4), Oriental Art (9/4), World Without Love (7/2), Ladybird (7/1), Elsaab (20/1)

EAGLE'S WAY appeals as a typical improver for the Sir Mark Prescott team and can open his account now he steps into handicap company with his stamina drawn out more. Oriental Art appeals as the one to give the selection most to do on the back of his good Doncaster second, although Ladybird is another with the potential to have a say.
