2.35 Nap - Footy Facts just held on after making al at Cork lto,giving weight al around here but it looks a weaker race imo, good to see Black Harry back on track after over 1000days off, would be some trainin performance if he won

3.05 - a very poor maiden hurdle, Lascalahall sets the standard, beaten 1l into 4th in a bunch finish lto at Clonmel, placed on his 2 runs b4 that including wen 2nd to Kusadasi who hacked up at Cork last weekend, and should get his head in front at the 9th attempt

3.40 -Bruach na Mara showed a big improvement in form wen 2nd in a bumper lto and solid claims in another poor affair

4.15 - Another maiden hurdle and Fennis Boy placed on his last 3 starts over hurdles can gain reward here

4.45 - Monaco Springs disappointed in a decent h'cap last time out in Leopardstown, has been dropped 2lbs for that effort and decent claims on his Limk win b4 that

5.15 nb - D'S Trix, only 5lbs higher than his impressive win here 3 runs ago - has been well beaten last twice but worth another chance here e/w

5.45 -A few have better form claims but i wil be havin a few bob e/w on the Philip Fenton newcomer Bach and Roll

Dunno at all about the trip suiting Lascalahall. Strange that they're running Not Before Eight off 95 in a maiden.

The popular Thursday fixtures at Thules and Clonmel come to a close for this season tomorrow.

Race 1) Footy Facts. (Treble) This should be a stroll in the park for Tyner's 10 yr old gelding. He is in the form of his life, winning a similar race in Cork at the week-end from in form Riguer Bob Back.

Race 2) Lascalahall. Francis flood's gelding has been knocking on the door of late. A fortnight ago he went down by less than a length to Tim Doyle's Mazara.

Race 3) Cheer Up. (NB) The ladies shone at Cheltenham last week. Now it could be the turn of Kathy Harrison. This Rudimentary gelding ran a big race in a similar MH at Fairyhouse before xmas when 3rd to Mick The Tooth and Cadspeed.

Race 4) Fennis Boy. The key here could be that Davy Russell takes over for the first time on this most consistent gelding. At the week-end he was a close 3rd to Lady Roberta at Gowran.

Race 5) Ballochroy. (Nap) Mick Murphy has been a casualty of this recession. Dessie Hughes has turned this gelding inside out. He can take advantage of his very low initial rating to follow up in a similar handicap. He has a 5 lb penalty for beating L'Oiseau De Feu at Naas a fortnight ago. The trip is an unknown.

Race 6) Keats Dream. Runner up in a similar race to Carlosantana at Limerick 12 days ago should see this one go close.

Race 7) Spruce Cottage. Tom Taaffe's gelding is put in as an alternative to likely fav Lambro from the Mullins yard. Runner up on his debut to Andy Kennedy's Character Actor at Fairyhouse who followed up at Ffos Las to my cost at the week-end can see this one have a live chance.

I tried to find a case for tipping Bruach na Mara as ye have lads. Two reasons why I opposed. Colgan cost me a nice few pound in the first at Gowran on Saturday by steadying up King Of The Refs too much going into the last. Also his only run over hurdles was poor.

Cheers BJG for putting me wide on Curley's winner last Friday.

4.15 Not before eight is very interesting especially with his jockey taking 7lbs of and will definatley stay the trip, not bad runs the last 2 in context of this race, thought AG DUL SUAS was interesting but that run at limerick 2m6f, she looked like she did'nt stay even though she won a 3m point. Not before eight looks pretty solid e/w material. Pretty confident fennis boy and dun masc wont stay the trip.
Report Eye Mall Inn March 25, 2010 8:29 AM GMT
Is it not weird though running Not Before Eight in a maiden when he's eligible for 0-95s with the young lad claiming 7?
I'd still give him a fair e-w shout today, along with De Bartishell and Good Decision (nap).

Report le stelle di mare March 25, 2010 11:58 AM GMT
ciao norn,

just looking at 1 piece of form on Moskova running, both Footy and Sandy were beaten roughly the same distance. Fotty giving 7lbs and Sandy receiving 7lbs. i know 1 was hurdles and the other was fences but it still gives you idea some credence.

sandy now receiving 19lbs with further 4lbs when claims are taken on board.

Any thoughts on Ask Me Sister in the last - no idea about this Sean Osborne chap but she's a massive price for a horse who was running well in a point behind a decent horse a couple of years back before she tipped up. Obsorne has two horses in prior races so interesting to see how they get on. Run ok and the 66's about Ask Me Sister could love massive. I backed Some Fool last time out and was far from impressed by the jockey on it (Louise O'Neill I think) - she rides again today and looks fair woeful to my eye.

Ag dul suas should go close in the 4.15.

His flop over 2 1/2 miles at Limeric kis a worry but I don't think he was right that day because they expected it to suit.

Some good tipping as usual on here. The Jigger did well to find the first one while Princess D'Anjou was inspired to mention Ask Me Sister.

Ballochroy was a right drifter in the 4 45pm. He must have had a setback.

Spruce Cottage for the Taaffe team was woeful. Taaffe's yard has been out of sorts for the guts of 12 months.

well done soapp. I spoke with trainer of cheer up jockey got kicked the day before and rode with 5 stitches in her leg so top stuff.
Report Allduckornodinner March 25, 2010 6:39 PM GMT
Well as a Dushyantour its not hugely suprising that Spruce Cottage didn't run well considering the ground but even at that it was a poor show. Double TT shows again why he's Irelands (self proclaimed) number one trainer!!
Report winston March 26, 2010 8:26 AM GMT
Whilst schadenfreude in itself is a despicable trait it is impossible not to derive great enjoyment from TT's abject failure to train winners at present. A truly despicable creature with an ego the size of a small country. Oh what pleasure I would have got from enjoying Kicking King if only he was trained by somebody else.
