Beneficial’s son out of Guigone has got a decent winning percentage, as he has managed to win five races out of 10. He has also secured the runner up spot on a couple of times, which means that he only dropped out of the top three thrice in his career.

disappoint anyone and took the top spot by one length and one quarter.
After a gap of a few months, the Jonjo O'Neill’s trainee was seen in action once again in the 2011 season. His performances were pretty decent that year as well and he earned a lot of money for his owner, John P McManus.
The Irish runner took part in four events last year and managed to win a couple of them whereas finished runner up once. His performances were quite impressive and would have given him a lot of confidence.
However, the start to the 2012 season was not a good one for Eastlake, as he struggled in the first couple of events. He bounced back strongly, winning a couple of back to back events. He was expected to complete a hat-trick of victories, but finished runner
up in his most recent run.
He will be partnered by one of the best jockeys in the business, A. P. McCoy, who will look forward to another impressive run today.
