Verdict
Fox Fearless has won over hurdles here and stepped up to 1m6f when scoring at Bellewstown so will need a test of stamina. Pretty Little Liar has won over fences, hurdles and on the all-weather and landed a 1m4f handicap at Bellewstown last summer. Breffni Girl didn't show her form at Limerick following a very good run at Gowran and looks on a fair mark while Clueless Hill is back on the same mark as when scoring at Navan last July. Freepark chased home New Moon Rising over 1m1f here before finding heavy conditions against him at Tipperary though if BLACK HAWK EAGLE produces the same level of form as he did at Gowran on Wednesday when finishing very strongly he should have few problems going one better.
