Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 8/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Eyeshields on for 1st time and needs to raise his game if he's to defy his current mark.

Forecasts

The Bay Warrior (11/8), Pillars Of Earth (9/2), Engrave (11/2), Kardinya (6/1), Boasty (8/1), Star From Afarhh (12/1), Kells (22/1), Yakhabar (33/1)

Verdict

THE BAY WARRIOR was edged out only late on over C&D 2 weeks ago and, for all he had an easy time of things up in front, it was still a career best and a reproduction of that form could be good enough to see him go one better here. Engrave did well to stick in there for as long as she did over C&D last week having pulled hard early, so she's respected, along with Pillars of Earth, who should be all the better for his reappearance.
