Eagle Terrace^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: N C Kelly| OR: 97

16/5

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable efforts over hurdles for Shark Hanlon in recent weeks ahead of this switch back to fences for new trainer Noel Kelly.

Form: 68-P844

Colemanstown Lad^p,t²⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 95

13/2

Matched the pick of his hurdle form when reaching the frame in his first 2 chases but he was running below par when unseating at Fakenham latest.

Form: 77342U-

Whataboutyeh^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 86| BF| CD

10/11

Off the mark over fences when accounting for over Light Are Green over C&D last month. Run likely came too soon when fading into third over hurdles at Southwell just 3 days later and he can resume his progression back chasing.

Form: 91-4213

An Marcach^v⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 75

9/2

Just 1 win from 38 starts. Finished a distant second at Fontwell last time and that wait for a second win is likely to go on.

Form: 346P-P2

Forecasts

Whataboutyeh (10/11), Lights Are Green (15/8), Eagle Terrace (16/5), An Marcach (9/2), Colemanstown Lad (13/2), Chain Smoker (50/1)

A very quick turnaround provides WHATABOUTYEH with an obvious excuse for his failure to land short odds back hurdling at Southwell last time and he can get back on the up returned to the larger obstacles. Lights Are Green chased him home over C&D last month and can do so again.
