EAGLE’S REALM has yet to win but made a promising start for Fergal O’Brien’s yard when second over today’s trip at Chelmsford. He looks up to winning off his current mark while Beat The Breeze scored at Wolverhampton when last seen over today’s distance and is not out of this. Abel Tasman won at the latter track back in May but Brighton regular Hooves Like Jagger has yet to score on the all-weather. Seaborough has been hurdling and has a poor strike-rate on the Flat so Straight Ash is preferred.
