Description

EAGLESCLIFFE is a 4 year old gelding by Merchant Navy out of the mare Jeu De Cartes.

He is a very sensible and straightforward horse that is easy to do everything with and good to have around the stables.

He has been well educated and given plenty of time to mature, and his new owners will have the upside of him still being eligible for maiden races.

He would be best suited to the provincial or country circuits which is not up to the level that his current ownership group are looking to race, so the decision has been made to move him on unreserved.

The gelding is in full-work and running at Newcastle in a CG&E Maiden over 1200 metres this Saturday.
