[u]17:45 Ballinrobe - Plan A[/u]
We've been really looking forward to sending him over fences for a while and he begins his career in that sphere today. He has schooled very well so let's keep our fingers crossed that he gets round safely. He has plenty of class and ran really well when fourth behind Rebel Fitz in the Galway Hurdle last time out. He's an exciting chasing prospect so hopefully he'll be able to make a winning start, but whatever he does today he will certainly improve for it.
[u]18:45 Ballinrobe - Trendelenburg[/u]
Paul Carberry takes the mount. He remains in good form at home but he has a bit to find with a number of the other runners in today's race. But it's quite a small field and you never know what might happen so it's worth letting him take his chance in...

[i]17:55 - Experimentalist[/i]
He ran well when third behind Liberty's Gift at Sligo recently and hopefully he can build on that today. The ground is being given as soft. He'll cope with that but he would probably prefer it a bit better. Ruby Walsh was available so we've booked him to take the ride and he should have a good solid each-way chance.
[i]Iconic Sway[/i]
She made her hurdling debut in the same Sligo race in which Experimentalist finished third but her saddle slipped very early and we didn't really learn anything about her that day. She needs to improve on what she has shown on the flat but she's been working well enough and hopefully there will be some encouragement from that run. Emmet McNamara rides her today.

[u]20:20 - Tom's Last Euro[/u]
He's our only runner today but he'll have to improve on what he's shown so far if he's to go close in what looks like a competitive handicap. It's only his third run for us and maybe we're still learning with him but we'd like to see something more from him on the track.
The good ground is in his favour and the track should be fine. Davy Condon takes the ride and if he could get into the places, we'd be happy with that.

[u]19:25 Ballinrobe - The Shepherd[/u]
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.
[u]20:25 Ballinrobe - Cosmic Wonder[/u]
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 ...
