FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BLACK HAWK EAGLE is entitled to come on a bit for this first start in nearly six months but gets the nod despite that concern. One of a few in here with form over hurdles, he was placed in his first three handicaps in this sphere last term including when runner-up over 1m4f on soft ground at Roscommon. Noel Meade's charge looks to be on a winnable mark. Secret Rock won an ordinary maiden hurdle at Wexford a few weeks ago with plenty up his sleeve. He showed very little on the Flat last year but has probably taken time to mature and a tongue-tie goes on for the first time. Paradise Lost has been running well in juvenile contests over hurdles and race-fitness will be an asset on this handicap debut.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
