In depth

Verdict

Wise Eagle has won twice around here and though now on his highest ever mark has won at this level from just 4lb lower. LET ME BE beat Bollin Neil over seven lengths over the course and distance on soft ground in May when conceding 13lb. The latter has won twice subsequently and should get closer without reversing the form. Stonific acts on any ground and has won from higher marks so has to be a threat while The Navigator has won twice over hurdles since scoring over 1m6f here in August.
