Bright Eyed Eagle, not beaten far on either start this season, sets the form standard. He also compiled a solid Flat record for Ed Walker, but KING'S PROCTOR may offer a touch of value, Formerly with Mark Johnston, he ran a good third at Salisbury last month and made a pleasing debut over timber when third to Captain Ivan and Edinburgh Castle. The latter has since gone well on his handicap bow, so the form looks healthy enough. Willy Nilly has respectable form over trip and ground at an ordinary level and is next best, whilst Quoteline Direct hasn't scored on the Flat since 2018 and now has a first spin over hurdles since February 2020.
