Verdict
EDDIES MIRACLE (NAP) has enjoyed a decent campaign mixing life between the flags and under Rules. He was below his point last time but was good enough to outpoint Clondaw Frisby here in March, albeit on very different ground. There should be little between them on this quicker terrain but the former was still travelling well enough when tipping up in the big hunter chase at Aintree won by Balnaslow last month. Sizing Rome is perhaps not as good as his consistent form figures suggest and will need to improve, as will the likes of recent point-to-point winners Captain Cook and Victory Gyp.
