Verdict
BLUE ECLIPSE showed promise on first run for new yard at Wolverhampton despite being hampered at the start. Now returning to previous winning course, he looks primed to strike. Pitney has been running consistently well on the all-weather with three frame finishes in succession and poses the main danger. My Mate Mike has run well fresh previously and makes his reappearance off last winning mark.

VerdictCourse winner who is generally better on AW. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (4/1) last August, taking strong hold early and weakening late. Will need to settle better back over a mile today but has rejoined previous yard and makes his reappearance off last successful mark. - 4. PitneyJ: Sean LeveyT: Michael AttwaterF: 0704732-4

VerdictPlaced twice in last five starts but failed to improve for step up to 1m when third of 4 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 27 days ago, led but weakened late on. Remains to be seen if change of headgear does the trick.
