Trí Na Céile should make a bold bid to complete a hurdling hat-trick in the Ballinrobe Race Committee Mares Handicap Hurdle in Ballinrobe this evening.

Beautiful weather and an all-flat card was the menu at Tipperary yesterday, but punters were thin on the ground and only ten bookmakers were on site.

The Tommy Stack-trained Wannabe Better, clearly improving at a rate of knots, created a mild surprise when taking the featured Listed Vincent O’Brien Ruby Stakes at Killarney last night.

It has been nice having a few winners in recent weeks but we have also been talking quite a bit about hitting the bar and it’s pretty incredible the number of seconds and thirds I have had.
