Formscan By Donal Murphy - MANO CHICAGO might be able to overcome a lengthy absence in this ordinary affair. The highest rated of those with a mark, the Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old picked up plenty of prizemoney when a respectable fifth in the Goffs Million on his last start. While clearly meeting with a setback in training since, this looks an ideal starting back point. Without a win in nine starts and failing to fire on his return at Naas last month, a first time tongue strap may have the desired effect on five-time runner-up Game Point. A visor is tried on the well-bred Wild Sapphire and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Others to consider here are Noel Meade's Take Me and debutant Catherine Magennis.

Quotes on Eagle's Quest (GB)

He’s qualified for the final now in Punchestown,. It’s Jackie’s first horse. He asked me to buy him a racehorse and I said .Jackie, you’ve enough hardship!. He was adamant he had to get a racehorse. I wanted to get a horse that would run pretty quick and this horse answered the question. They are racing every day with him. He’s my mother’s brother and my auntie Carmel comes as well, they all come every day. One of my cousins said ‘they don’t go anywhere, but they go to see this horse run’. Jackie has said to me that he has something to get up for every day. It’s just a great result.
