Verdict
Eddie's Pride was given a chance by the assessor at Fairyhouse last month and took advantage on his first start over three miles. He's been raised 5lb but Gary Noonan can claim 3lb extra this time. Courting Vickie, 1-26 over hurdles, was having only her second start over fences when gaining a shock victory at Clonmel but is effectively 12lb higher as her rider claimed 7lb that day. WALKING THE WALK has never won under Rules but has gone close on several occasions including when sent to Hereford a couple of weeks ago and this could be his day. The veteran Garrai Phaidin had little chance from out of the handicap last time but ran much better than expected.
