Morlaix is still improving and won at Wolverhampton last month but EAGLESGLEN (NAP) scored over track and trip in November and was having his first start since when going close back here last week. Tom Clover’s charge gets another chance racing off the same mark. Bad Attitude comoleted a double before finishing behind Bayston Hill over track and trip and the latter will appreciate the return to this lower grade but Nawafeth is upped in distance. Le Magnifique is fit from hurdling, however.
