Eddy was an easy winner under Sean Houlihan at Exeter last week and it's no surprise that Sue Gardner turns him out again quickly under a penalty. But PLANTAGENET's latest impressive victory at Towcester came in a higher grade and he, too, only has 7lb extra. Daniel Sansom is also good value for his 7lb claim and the partnership can rack up victory number four since joining forces in August. Veteran Baccalaureate and the less-exposed Mole Trap may be best of the rest ahead of Not At All.
