Verdict

Gold Wing has shown promise in a couple of maidens but EAGLE’S REALM (NAP) looks the one to be on in this opener having readily got the better of the prolific Appreciate when making his handicap debut over track and trip, despite spreading a plate. Copper Fox may need to drop a few pounds to get his head back in front but is still preferred to the likes of Henry Box Brown and Balearic.
