Race preview
Gamesters Guy looks set to relish this step up in trip on his handicap debut, although mark of 130 seems to be stiff enough on what he has achieved to date. With that in mind, preference is for WONDERFUL EAGLE, who has placed in two valuable handicaps at Cheltenham on his last couple of starts and remains open to further improvement. The consistent Magical King edges out Saint Palais to be best of the rest.
