Verdict

SHADOW EILE has a penalty to carry for her Grade 2 success at Fairyhouse in April but her overall form, both on the Flat and over hurdles, entitles her to the vote here though she is certain to be a short price. Spring Hawk landed a maiden at Wexford last month and would have finished closer in novice company at Kilbeggan last time but for being forced wide approaching the last. Some Fiddle is progressing nicely though her victory at Perth was over 2m5f and she had earlier finished just behind Music On D Waters at Kilbeggan.
