Verdict
Fire Eyes had some fair form last year though he is yet to fire for his new connections. Order Of St John has to be respected having won here in the past and he returns to the Flat having failed to cut much ice over hurdles. BIT OF A QUIRKE sits 2lb below his previous winning mark on this track and his last run at Beverley, without the visor he dons tonight, is better than the bare figures suggest. Carrigillihy has been in winning form in small fields have and will be a factor.
