Eagle Moon didn't show much in two starts for Henry De Bromhead last year after arriving from France but it was a different matter at Bellewstown earlier this month where he had few problems landing the odds. He makes his handicap debut and looks on a fair mark. Enzani hasn't won over hurdles since 2017 and was making a comeback after a very long absence when a very good third at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Ruinous finished third at the same fixture, his best run to date, but Ego Des Mottes, a triple bumper winner in France, has been a disappointment so far over hurdles. Loudest Whisper has been running well but a career strike-rate of 0-27 hardly inspires. Acclamatio looked to have a good chance in the 6.15 yesterday, where Castlehume was also involved, but MILLYINTHEMIDDLE ran well enough from 4lb out of the handicap when well supported here on Wednesday to suggest she can recoup losses.
