Race preview
EAGLE'S QUEST, who had a couple of these behind when runner-up at Gowran Park, can gain a first success. The Mags Mullins-trained gelding also shaped with promise on his previous start when sixth in a big field at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. With an official rating of 115, the six-year-old sets a fair standard in a race of this nature. All Night Revival, who was fourth in that Gowran race, has to be respected. Having finished runner-up between the flags and in a bumper, he made a promising start to his career over flights. Point-to-point winner Simply Natural is not one to dismiss lightly on her hurdling debut.
