Verdict

EAGLEHILL is building up a good strike rate over fences and goes well fresh too so Olly Murphy's 8-y-o is taken to follow up his Fakenham reappearance success at the chief expense of First Account, who was edged out of it at Carlisle last time and seems sure to go well again. Veteran Brian Boranha appeals as the pick of the remainder.
