THE Wille Mullins-trained Dorset Square took full advantage of his apparently lenient flat mark when justifying 6/5 favouritism in the John Madden & Sons Handicap in Ballinrobe last night.

I THINK it’s fair to say I’m more hopeful than confident facing into the final day of Punchestown this afternoon.

IN-FORM Willie Mullins can land a double at Sligo tomorrow with Deutschland and Flat Out, both horses arriving on the back of solid efforts at the Punchestown Festival.

THE enigmatic, but talented, Watson Lake was on a going day at Clonmel yesterday, finding enough for the inspired Paul Carberry to win the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase.

AWAY WE GO put up a decent display of front-running to take the Martinstown Opportunity Maiden Hurdle in the hands of Eddie Power in very testing conditions at Limerick yesterday.

EDDIE POWER produced a tremendous performance to guide 7-2 favourite Dorset Square to victory in the ladbrokes.com Maiden Hurdle at Limerick last night.

DOMESTIC FUND, a costly failure at Galway, can redress the balance in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Leopardstown to morrow.

EL CERRO, very much on the upgrade, is the nap choice to land the Coors Lite Handicap at Limerick this evening.

THERE were plenty of smiling faces at Killarney last night after the Eugene O’Sullivan-trained Head Waiter had landed the valuable Kerryman Long Distance Handicap Hurdle, particularly among those who visited their local bookmaker in the morning.
