Verdict

If the addition of a hood helps TREASURE PLANET to settle better than he did at Aintree this opening mark may not be beyond him. Eddie My Eagle has the potential for further progress now handicapping and is preferred to last weekend's Fontwell scorer Queenie St Clair for the forecast spot.
