Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Hull Handicap Stakes

Consistent placer who has finished third three times in his last four starts, L'Eagle Aid arrives fresh on 27 days' rest, has run over today's trip, and our rating puts him ahead of his official mark — yet to win in recent starts remains the concern.

Clansman boasts a winner two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, with his rating of 76 giving him a solid claims; the chief concern is that unplaced effort last time out after a 63-day break that stretches into this return.

Valley of Flowers has won in recent starts but sits eighth of nine on our figures, making her hard to fancy at the weights with 137 lb to carry; she has run over today's trip and going before, and a run 36 days ago leaves her reasonably fresh.

Prince Of Calypso won last time out and returns just 12 days later in fine fettle, with experience of both today's trip and going in his favour; a rating of 78 underlines his claims, and he is our pick to go in again.

Mayaada shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back and has run over today's trip, while her rating of 79 makes her the one to beat here; the concern is a fourth last time out after 49 days off.
