In depth
Verdict
This looks a competitive finale with the three-year-olds Rockfast, Miss Minuty and Hercullian Prince all worth a second look. Rizal Park is getting closer while City Of Angkor Wat hinted at a revival last time over course and distance. Mick Easterby appears to hold a strong hand and DAY OF THE EAGLE is fancied to get back to winning ways at the expense of stablemate Barren Brook with Danielle Mooney's claim a plus.
