Racing Post verdict
Third-partyEaglewood rates narrowly below the two highest-rated runners in this competitive 18-horse field over seventeen furlongs at Cork, but a fitness edge over Pirate Island and Midnight Musical makes the case for siding with her here. Saint Peregrine, just two pounds adrift, also enters calculations as a credible threat on good ground. The confidence is tempered by the depth of this field, yet that edge in condition could prove decisive at this trip. **Eaglewood** is our selection.
