Verdict
Eye Of Heaven has been given a short rest after struggling in Pattern races. He’ll take the beating on these terms if rediscovering the form of his debut win at Newmarket but ASADJUMEIRAH is just preferred. The latter went close on the Turf at Lingfield recently and any further progress could see him off the mark. Identified is fitted with blinkers after disappointing at Chepstow but Shalaa Asker finished a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton last week and Passthecourvoisier ran well at Catterick on her debut.
