Verdict

BEHOLDEN, placed in all three starts to date over timber, is impossible to oppose in a modest maiden. Aldrich Bay, a winner over 1m4f on Polytrack, could be the danger if taking to jumping as Blood Eagle already looks exposed, though did make the frame twice at Plumpton earlier this year. I'm Notapartygirl won a bumper here in 2019 but has shown nothing yet over hurdles.
