Verdict
Mcgowan's Pass never seems to run a bad race but the veteran last won at the start of 2020. Zamond is 3lb lower than his last winning mark but has been looking very one-paced lately and Brian Hughes switches to the four-year-old Choirmaster. A change of scenery appears to have benefited EAGLE’S REALM and, though up 2lb for a recent second here, the five-year-old can go one better. The consistent Allbetsoff won’t be far away again and Max Of Stars gets a massive weight-for-age allowance, though is obviously taking on much more experienced opposition.
