Race Tip

A WAR EAGLE (2) makes turf debut following two runs on AW resulting in one placed effort. Returns from 78-day break and looks for improvement with a first-time hood applied. Major player. MONTPELLIER (8) represents notable connections. Bred by Wootton Bassett out of G1 Prix de l’Abbeye winner Mabs Cross. Expect a big run. ILLUMINATOR (6) hails from a stable who does well with two-year-olds. Bred by Earthlight out of Poet’s Voice mare Chastushka. CITY OF POETS (3) is another debutant who may come good later down the line.
