Verdict

A chance is taken on SPIRIT OF EAGLES, who's run well here previously, and has Colin Keane aboard following a significant stable switch. Ado McGuinness looks to hold a strong hand with She's Ideal and Land of The Giants, with the returning Goldrush Kid another to note.

9	Runner-up at this meeting in 2024. Turned in best effort for some time when landing optional claimer at Fairyhouse (6f) in May. Never involved in 7f claimer on final start for Thomas Dowling at Gowran (7f). Booking of Colin Keane catches the eye on first start for capable new yard. 1st Pick 9 Spirit Of Eagles (Ire) Jockey: C.

8	Landed a double when making a winning start for current connections at Gowran (1m) last month. Not in same form in better company at Gowran latest. Still relatively early days with the Adrian McGuinness yard, and she has leading claims at the weights back in a claimer. 2nd Pick 8 She's Ideal (Ire) Jockey: J. J. G.

7	Capitalised on reduced mark when doubling his tally in a 0-60 at Navan (1m) latest. Shows enough speed to be considered on first try sprinting, especially with yard enjoying a good spell. 3rd Pick 7 Land Of The Giants (Ire) Jockey: Adam Caffrey Trainer: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland J: Adam Caffrey T: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland	94	-	-	-	25%
