COLEMANSTOWN LAD is yet to trouble the judge in nine starts but his better efforts have obtained on today’s surface and he hails from a yard that are very much in form. Whataboutyeh got the better of Lights Are Green by an easy two lengths when the pair met last month though today’s going will be markedly softer than on that occasion. Eagle Terrace has a first start for Noel Kelly having recently left Shark Hanlon and the five-year-old will need to improve dramatically on what he’s shown over fences in his career thus far.
