Eagle can pass this test
Thomond O’Mara’s charge is a consistent sort and the booking of Ruby Walsh can be viewed as a major plus.
You could argue two miles is on the short side for the five-year-old, but I think we can safely assume he will be given a positive drive by his astute pilot. The selection took too long to hit top gear when second to Coolgreaney at Wexford last Friday night. He stayed on strongly at the end of that two and a quarter miles, but was still a length adrift of the winner, who was always racing near the front.
