Verdict
EAGLE’S WAY followed a maiden success with a convincing three-length victory at Doncaster on his handicap debut and the Prescott gelding hasn’t finished winning yet. He should get a good lead in this from Definite, who made all at Haydock last month and is 6lb higher. Francesi found only one too good at Chelmsford last time though was well beaten in both previous outings on Turf.
