19:25 Ballinrobe - The Shepherd

He was only just beaten in a Beginners' Chase at Down Royal over Christmas and his two runs since then have been disappointing, including back at the same track last time. He won a couple of times over hurdles last season and he has ability but we need to get his confidence back over fences. It's not a bad race today so we'll just be looking for a better show and if he gets among the places we'll be very happy.


20:25 Ballinrobe - Cosmic Wonder

He makes his debut for us in the bumper. His point to point form wasn't great but we're hoping he might do okay for us. It's hard to know what to make of today's race - Willie Mullins runs a newcomer (Wrong Way Corrigan, a full brother to Bishopsfurze), who could be anything - so if our lad was able to sneak into the places, that'd be a very good start for him.
