Verdict
Sabreeze makes a quick reappearance having finished well down the field at Nottingham earlier this week. This is a much easier race and he raced quite freely that day so the drop back in trip could see him fare much better here. Eagle Park takes in even bigger drop in distance having finished down the field in a hot handicap at Doncaster last time. Again, this looks a lot easier, but the feeling is they may go too quickly for him. Greatdream and Night Runner are others to consider, but preference goes to Comtesse Noire. Ian Balding's filly came up against some fair sorts in her four juvenile races, and showed plenty of promise in all of them. She showed at Goodwood that she handles fast ground and could easily make the journey from Kingsclere worthwhile.
