Formscan By John O'Riordan - EAGLE'S QUEST, who had a couple of these behind when runner-up at Gowran Park last time, can gain a first success. A son of Wings Of Eagles, the Mags Mullins-trained gelding had also shaped with promise on his previous start when sixth in a big field at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. With an official rating of 115, the six-year-old sets a fair standard in a race of this nature. All Night Revival, who finished fourth in that aforementioned Gowran race has to be respected. Having finished runner-up in both his point-to-point and bumper, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding made a promising start to his career over flights. Point-to-point winner Simply Natural is not one to dismiss lightly on her hurdling debut.
