Eagle can soar to new heights

JESSICA HARRINGTON’S Alpine Eagle, with two decent runs under his belt of late, can land the nap in the first division of the www.hacketts.ie Maiden Hurdle at Limerick today, should the meeting pass a precautionary 7.30 inspection this morning.

He gave promise of better to come when fifth behind Head Of The River at Gowran Park and was then a strong order in the market next time at Cork.

Backed from 3-1 to 7-4, the selection was a slightly unlucky loser, going down by a head to Mythical Prince, after finishing to real effect.
