Eagle Nebula won a similar event over C&D in January and has gone close again since. A bold bid looks likely from him but he has a few pounds to find with KISS A PRINCE on today's terms. The latter won a handicap here earlier this year and his latest second over track and trip is the best piece of recent form on offer. Irons On Fire has been running consistently well at this track but he too has a bit to find with the selection while Oneiric and Total Obsession have it all to do at the weights.
