FormscanBy Alan Magee - ECLIPSE EMERALD has twice had Kortez Bay about two lengths behind when filling the runner-up spot on both outings to date and is sent straight into handicap company. The form of his second to Follow Me at the Curragh last month has been working out quite well and this sounder surface could bring about more improvement. Edwardian beat Perfect Judgement in a maiden here over five last summer and was quite highly tried in two subsequent starts, while Tai Tam Bay won easily over course and distance last month but has been given a hefty 15lb hike as a result. The form of Ohailbhic’s win in a Dundalk maiden has been boosted since and Dylan Browne McMonagle is again on board.
