Surprised the ground is heavy in Thurles today and slightly sceptical.

Looks to me a punters card today.
12.20.
Black Zero won easy on his favoured heavy ground in Gowran,we kow he is in current form so doubt the penalty will stop him.

12.50.
Its The Ice I Like won in a canter at Navan,he will love the extra half mile here.
He does look to have a mind of his own but a win generally sets them on their way.
Mallards In Flight might not have liked Tramore and is the danger under the excellent Danny Benson.

1.20
The improving Mrs Mac Veale ( I know she's 9) should win here,she is only 5 pound higher than her last win in Thurles and has had a win since in Wexford..

1.50
Lyrical Theatre looked a right horse in Navan,her only defeat came in a suspicious race in Galway.
The opposition is non existent.

2.20
Kauto Grand Mogul ran a decent race in Navan behind Free Expression,the third there was mighty impressive when winning in Punchestown,his maiden hurdle winin Limerick was workmanlike but he jumped well.
Draycott Place ran out with the race at his mercy in Navan,I'm not sure whether it was jockey error or not but a bad sign.

2.50
Wrath Of Titans has disappointed but he won his bumper here and his point on heavy,his last run at Fairyhouse was behind Shaneshill with winners finishing either side of him.
Flinders River is the danger,was stable second string in Down Royal but ran some race,he took the last two hurdles out by the roots but still finished third,strangely for the stable not going for a bumper win probably avoiding Mullins.

3.20
Getting a bit monotonous now but Mullins winning all the bumpers again.
Pylonthepressure won his sole point beating a subsequent Sligo bumper winner,appears to be rated a lot higher than yesterday's bumper winner and he looked decent despite the mixed reports.


Nothing original here but looks to me like some early Christmas presents.
I will be checking the Mullins runners to make sure they are not coughing.

easyontheeye will give them all their fill of it in the first, tasty each way at 6s.
its the ice I like has problems jumping, the big field will not help.
wrath of titans has been running like a horse with problems, with the bumper penalty to concede, wouldn't takemuch to get him beat.
pylonthepressure looks to have an open goal...but one thing for sure Wildman, he aint in the same league as yesterdays winner...stone hard is a proper grade 2 probably grade 1 horse in the making...in a year or two he will prove it.

I like Golden Ticket in the first race. If you ignore his run on the flat, his last 4 runs have been very good. Black Zero has only won once in 20 runs. His did the business last time when the money was down but I would be wary of him @ a short price. JJ Walsh's horse could be a massive price also. Reasonable run last time on return and this is the time of year for his horses.

It's the ice I like won a desperate race last time @ Navan. His only serious rival fell very early on. He is very well in compared to his hurdles mark but his previous run @ Naas looked awkward and I'd say he has had plenty of problems. A lay for me.

Agree with you regarding Mrs Macveale in the third race, she looks a very big price to me. I thought she would be favourite.

Lyrical Theatre and Kauto Grand Mogul and wrath of titans pylonthepressure should all win but wouldn't be my type of prices. Dante's firth should place in her race as usual but unlikely to win.

Killtilane Rose is a long standing maiden but I give her an e/w squeak at 20/1 in the first. Good course form,down to her lowest mark, needed the run last time out with a good young jockey on board.

Dantes Firth e/w at 10/1 has excellent course form, ran very well last time out and could be the one to capitalise if Lyrical cant transfer his bumper form to hurdles.

Well done wmfb, great run from norn and gotchee's horse @ a big price.

It doesn't "look" heavy,you might be right Wildman. Draycotts Place trainer is on record as saying he much prefers better going,he also said he was full of running til running out at Navan, not convinced KGM will be more at home over the distance than DP despite his famous relation.

Very good fist of the card Wildman,good spot in the opener with the 2nd ew,been a nice little acca on the 4 you said Newsapproach.
Good performances from Pylonthepressure and Kauto Grand Mogul who didn't come out of 2nd gear,Surprised by how easy KGM did it,and more study needed for Stephens Day.
Happy Christmas to the Horse people on the thread.

Top tipping Wildman,even the 2 that stopped you going through the card ran well,I thought Lyrical Theatre would win a lot easier than it did today and made heavy weather of it.

Great crowd there and some decent racing.

Willie Mullins horses still winning everything although Lyrical Theatre never looked like a winner in her maiden hurdle until the last 100 yards.
Bosman rule was beaten but that just seems to be his lot.
Pylonthepressure was impressive on the course but was far from impressive in the parade ring.

Willie Mullins comment on the handicapper after the  Lyrical Theatre win was telling shows he agrees with me.

Two decent each ways landed by The Gotchee again.
The SP of Dantes Firth was just wrong and more a reflection of the new way they are compiling the SPs.
