EAMON AN CNOIC faded away in the closing stages when dropped back to 2m at Haydock last time but had won over 2m4f at the same track before that. Testing ground is no problem for David Pipe’s charge and he looks to have a good opportunity in this. San Pedro De Senam won a three-runner contest over these fences last month when the odds-on favourite unseated early in the race and Gary Moore’s charge was well beaten last time. Holbrook Park is even harder to fancy having won at Fakenham in December but failing to complete his last three outings.
