Queally worried about Newcastle ground John Queally admits the forecast rain is a worry ahead of Al Eile's run in the WBX.com 'Fighting Fifth' Hurdle at Newcastle. "Good to soft would be fine any worse would be a worry," the trainer told At The Races. His nine-year-old is set to form part of a strong Irish raiding party for the contest and warmed-up for the race with a recent spin on the Flat at Leopardstown. "He's as well as he can be. We were anxious to get a run into him before we came over," Queally added. "The last time it was run at Newcastle he split Harchibald and Katchit and he'll like the track on Saturday but it's a very hot race. He's run in them all his life though and has acquitted himself well. "Solwhit is the new star but we've bumped into them all our life. It's nothing new to us."
