FormscanBy Michael Graham - EDDIES PRIDE appeals off a very light weight. She put in a solid shift when third over 3m2f at Fairyhouse in January. Her sole victory came over 3m in Fairyhouse, so this trip should be fine for her. In addition, she has been placed over hurdles and fences on her last two visits to this track. Lilian Bland brought off a gamble when asserting to win by seven lengths in Thurles last month. She is 9lb higher and is up in trip but, if in the same mood, would be a big player. Kilashee has finished runner-up in the last two handicap chases she has contested at this venue and is a contender while Bella Bliss isn't in form, but is the highest-rated horse by a stone. If she is going to bounce back to form, it could come in this lesser company albeit she would prefer better ground.
