FormscanBy Donal Murphy - THUNDER ECLIPSE is the highest rated runner in the line-up and he might be able to provide Danny Gilligan with his first track win. The son of Co Galway trainer Paul Gilligan, the young pilot had plenty of success on the pony racing circuit. He had his first track ride on April 1st and has filled the runner-up spot four times since. He was in fact second aboard Thunder Eclipse when this colt last appeared at Naas in early May. The pair went down by just a short head on that occasion and had Ano Syra, Speedacus and Magniffico all behind. Beautiful Sunshine was a good second to Pirate Jenny here on Guineas weekend and another bold bid can be expected from her, with Jake Coen taking a valuable seven pounds off. Neo Soul was a good winner at Cork on his last start and is a leading contender here, while others for the shortlist in this competitive contest are Little Queenie, Sablonne and the returning Loveday.
