FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Beaten the minimum margin at Listowel on debut, STATE PENSION can go one place better. The five-year-old ran green when coming under pressure before staying on strongly close home. Sure to have benefited from that initial experience, he should know his job on this occasion. Although off the track since August 2024, Mags Mullins' Eagle's Quest would be a serious threat if fit and ready. The booking of Patrick Mullins certainly suggests that he is ready to do himself justice. The Pat Doyle trained Theran is worth a second look in the market on this introduction at his local track.
