A couple of these won their respective divisions of the same handicap here last week. REGAL EAGLE had slipped down the weights in Ireland before scoring on only his second outing for David Evans and is just preferred to Word Of Honour, who benefited for the drop back down in distance last time. Blue Whisper finished runner-up to the selection but Harlequin Rose never recovered from a slow start in the same race. Khazaf and Enzo ran below par at Southwell last time but can do better back on this surface while Windsorlot slides further down the handicap.
