Patsy poised to follow up

The heats of the Makeshift Southern Oaks are the feature of the night’s action at Youghal and Barrack Patsy can follow up what was a faultless first-round display by taking his semi-final.

Joe Collins’ bitch broke 29 seconds in a pre-Oaks trial and she smashed it with last week’s trap-to-line victory. She is not as well drawn this time and it’s vital that she clears Crossfield Tina on the run to the bend.

The pair met in the final of a stake at Limerick, from the same boxes, and Barrack Patsy missed the kick, but showed big pace to finish second to his rival here.
