Eye Of The Water has won a handicap but has been beaten under a penalty back in novice company subsequently. Al Messila makes more appeal dropping down in trip having placed in both starts over 7f so far when attempting to make all. She’s preferred to the others with experience but several of the newcomers are worthy of a second glance including Magic Image and Meghan Sparkle. Both are related to winners though over longer trips than this with the former in particular likely to prove best over further. But PUSH BACK is a half-brother to a two-year-old winner over 6f from a family of sprinters and George Peckham’s charge gets a speculative vote to make a winning start.
