Verdict
Foreshadow was a hot favourite for a classified event at Ayr last week but City Vaults won that race with a bit to spare. Marbuzet stays well and had Penelopeblueyes behind when the pair met at Thirsk earlier in the year but TIBERIO FORCE (NAP) ran out a worthy winner at Nottingham when the cheekpieces worked the oracle and it would be no shock to see him defying a rise in the weights. High Born Eagle is worth a market check on a first try at handicapping.
