Eagle's Realm finished 34 lengths behind KOI DODVILLE at Aintree and is only 6lb better off. He may close that gap but David Pipe’s French import should continue to make hay in races like this over the summer. Moneykenny won over 1m3f on Fibresand so should have no trouble staying this trip and could be a danger if taking to jumping. Tara Iti, who won over 1m on the Flat, is also worth a second look.
