Orwellian has struggled at the weights since his victory at Hamilton in May though he's rarely beaten far and Joe Doyle is a strong booking. Day Of The Eagle hasn't won since last summer but is now 4lb lower unlike Smart Alec, who went up 7lb for last month's course and distance victory and couldn't cope on his next start. SEE CLEARLY is running well and was in front of It's All A Game at Newcastle and holds Thrust Control of their 1-2 at Southwell last month. Tim Easterby's mare isn't a prolific winner but this is a very moderate handicap and Paddy Aspell can steer her home.
