A double-figure draw is typically disadvantageous round here, particularly at up to 1m, but PEARL EYE, like the last two winners of this handicap, is taken to prevail from stall 12. He has admittedly become a shade inconsistent but his three previous spins round here all resulted in good efforts and he'll have strong claims granted a reproduction of the form he showed at Doncaster in March. Thunder Blue is feared most but cases can also be made for Boardman, Intervention and Liamarty Dreams.
