Forecasts

Mezcala (9/4), Be Frank (9/2), A War Eagle (9/2), Tilted Kilt (8/1), Special Ghaiyyath (10/1), Surrey Shadow (10/1), Empirestateofmind (12/1), Mysteryofthesands (14/1), We Dare To Dream (16/1), Pearl Eye (18/1), One Eye Jack (22/1)

Judged on his latest second at Kempton A WAR EAGLE is still going the right way and a 2 lb nudge for that effort looks fair, particularly in light of the winner's subsequent display in a valuable handicap at the York Ebor meeting. He gets the nod ahead of fellow 3-y-os Mezcala and Tilted Kilt, while Mysteryofthesands could be the pick of the older brigade.
