Coral Cup - I'm really quite sweet on Eagle Fang here. I remember the last day at Ascot when he was up against some big guns in the Long Walk Hurdle and I was impressed with how he travelled for a long way in that, especially from an outside position. Looking at his form before that, there's some bits and pieces of really decent form, including behind Home By The Lee and Bob Olinger, especially given he's only a five year old and must still be a work in progress.
Okay yes a counter argument could be made that he's too high in the weights now, but he's proven he can handle it at a decent level I reckon, which is very important, and I think there's more to come. I'm backing him in the yankee and an each way single tomorrow. I fancy he'll travel into this race well, hopefully be bang there at the business end, but whether he see's it through up the hill to the line is in the lap of the gods.
