Forecasts

Eagle's Realm (2/1), Show No Fear (9/2), Ney (5/1), Crystal Guard (11/2), Bobby Shaftoe (15/2), Zephlyn (8/1), Can Can Girl (16/1), Mass Consumption (16/1), Sugarpiehoneybunch (150/1)

EAGLE'S REALM is taken to extend his winning run to 4 back from a short break. Ney ran a sound first race for the Danny Brooke yard when third at Southwell recently and is feared most ahead of Show No Fear.
