Verdict
KING EAGLE has remained on the Flat since joining Nicky Henderson’s leading jumps yard and has won on both occasions. He steps up from 1m6f with Ryan Moore taking over the reins and is taken to confirm latest running with Traila. The latter was beaten only a neck and looks more favourably treated than Pledgeofallegiance who missed out on a hat-trick when below par at Haydock. Malakahna won over track and trip last autumn and Blazeon Five narrowly beat Monsieur Lambrays here back in May. Tamilla is another upped in trip and is preferred to Appier of the rest.
