Alpine Eagle poised to strike

ALPINE EAGLE, a useful sort on the flat, can enjoy his first success over jumps in the Cahir Maiden Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

Once again the Tipperary track produces the type of card which appeals to punters, with five non-handicaps among the seven races, so it could be lively enough in the betting ring.

In any case, Jessica Harrington’s Alpine Eagle has turned in two promising efforts of late and should now be poised to strike.
