Verdict

KING EAGLE is a handicapper going places for Nicky Henderson, and with 2m expected to draw out further improvement, the hat-trick looks firmly on the cards. Pledgeofallegiance flopped at Haydock but could hardly be in better hands to bounce back in a change of headgear, with Blazeon Five completing the shortlist.
