thurles tomorrow ...

Legal Exits (2.25) p2p win looks particularly strong and the likely favs Dale St and PopMurphy are dodgepots. Legal Exit won as he liked from Witness in Court who since won a p2p before going to McCains and running to a decent level placed twice. The 3rd Free to Dream in that p2p has won a hurdle and was beaten 9L in a G3 3m hurdle on Sunday, it's rated 117 now. Anything that runs to near 117 here wins,simple as that. If wound up and on the upgrade anything over 4-5/1 is value and he's currently 8s on here.

thanks for that contribution azzkikr , and welcome....

Am told Dale Street will win tomorrow. And Dessie Hughes' horses absolutely flying!

Roi Du Mee is expected to prove very popular with punters in the John Meagher Memorial Chase, the feature event at Thurles.

The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old returned to his very best when landing the Grade Three Star 'Best For Racing Coverage' Chase at Punchestown for the second year running last month and he drops into Listed class for this assignment.

2011 RSA Chase hero Boston's Angel has been very disappointing since that Cheltenham Festival success but remains worthy of the utmost respect at this level, while the remaining trio need to raise their game a notch or two.

The second most valuable contest on the seven-race card is the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase, in which Venture Lazarus bids to go one better than his recent second at Galway.

Annacarton also filled the runner-up spot last month, albeit over six furlongs further than the 2m2f trip he tackles here, and will be expected to have his say, along with Best Of Bocelli, who continues to perform well in defeat.

The action gets under way at 12.55 with an interesting renewal of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase, a race Willie Mullins has won twice in the last four years, and he has sound claims again courtesy of Local Celebrity.

Pulled up when bidding for a hat-trick on his return from a break in September, it would be no surprise see the lightly-raced eight-year-old bounce back, although he will need to find top gear to get the better of Jim Will Fix It and chasing debutant Pineau De Re.

Dale Street has been knocking on the door and could gain a deserved success in the Cashel (C & G) Maiden Hurdle, while Piece D'or can build on a promising debut fourth when she lines up in the Templemore Mares Maiden Hurdle.

Colgrave Sound and Stoney showed enough on their respective debut outings to suggest they can go close in the closing Toboradora Flat Race.



Looks a decent enough meet-

Jim 'll Fix It is a decent price in the 1 st - pulled up the last twice but a close 2nd to Foildubh 3 runs back - last December.

3rd race - Venture Lazarus looked decent at Galway lto and a small nibble for it this evening

Pineau in 1st race 10 lbs in hand on hurdles rating, if ready to go should win imo,decent price as well.

i agree stevo1.....i like this horse ..i remember been at limerick last season were he ran a cracker ...great chance if jumping round...

FFS handbrake on there

There were quiet a few on in that race^^^.

The boys dont know 2.55 looks an ew to nothing on his recent 2nd,travelled well and looked the likely winner until outfought close home,there was a good gap to the 3rd.

wd pa

Thanks NGU, well due,
Up ou dat

Very unlucky with Legal Exit.Had a few quid on at the right price-was disgusted my 1.36 in running lay wasn't. Taken.

Jim Cullotty is at best unlucky and Tom Doyle has been cursed since he won the Galway hurdle.
