Eagle Fang
Excellent efforts in deep 3m handicap hurdles in recent weeks, with the new visor working well; still early days over fences and the form he showed in winning at Thurles suggests he could be as effective in this discipline.

From the connections
“I thought for a minute we were going to do it again [after Friday's last-race winner Laafi], but Eagle Fang has run a cracker. After running well here he'll probably go to France now for another handicap at the big meeting in Paris. He tried fences but got a bit of a fright the second time and didn't return as well, so I said we'd switch back and change things up. He'd been working well and it was a great run in the first-time visor, but we just bumped into a well-handicapped horse - Tom Bannon, representing trainer William Durkan.”
“Eagle Fang has bumped into some smart horses. He would want it soft and I would like to see some rain but the Boodles has been the plan for some time - Gary Bannon, assistant trainer”
