This is a competitive handicap in which Look of Eagles is taken to get the better of Pertemps Magus and Parkview Love. The selection hails from a top yard and she won well over course and distance last time when beating Tipsy Lad. He won going away that day and he looks capable of defying a penalty to score again. Pertemps Magus showed some decent form on the turf last summer and she does have winning form on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. She wins in her turn but she been off the track since September and she may be a little sharper for this outing. Parkview Love was a good second behind Monte Mayor Boy here last time so he is worth noting in the market. But his best form these days is over a mile and for that reason he is narrowly passed over. Yorkie ran his best race for some time over 7f here when last seen out and is another in with a shout, but for the winner we will stick with Look of Eagles.
