Verdict

WISE EAGLE has now won four of his last five outings having scored over 1m6f at Musselburgh last time despite failing to get a clear run. He looks worth sticking with given the winning run of Greengage came to an end at York last time having earlier beaten Three Castles over track and trip. Stonific is best over 2m nowadays and won over the latter trip at Ripon recently while Irish raider New Society is 7lb higher than when scoring at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and Ayr Poet steps up in trip.
