Pundit pick: Eagle Bay

Eagle Bay made a striking impression last time, landing a maiden by 5 lengths in form that has stood up well since, and trainer Harriet Bethell has a fine record at Chester; he handles 7f on good ground and looks capable of overcoming the penalty. El Nay has been consistent in the places in recent starts and is the main danger, but Eagle Bay is our selection.
