Three Mirrors can round off great week for Walsh
Tony Mullins’ charge has shown improved form over flights this winter and looks well capable of a big performance.
He ran freely in front and made a couple of errors, before fading to finish fifth behind Nopekan at Leopardstown last month.
Previously, however, he had Nopekan well behind in fifth spot when beating Quel Doun and subsequent dual winner, Power Elite, in fine style at Gowran Park.
The old combination of John Oxx and Johnny Murtagh may supply the solution to the Irish Stallion Farms’ Park Express Stakes with top weight, Dossier.
The daughter of Octagonal was very progressive in three runs last campaign, until finding ten furlongs further than she wanted to travel when third to Chorist and Place Rouge in a Group Three at the Curragh in September.
Kevin Prendergast’s once-raced Eldorado gets the nod in the One In Four Maiden.
It took plenty of time for the penny to drop with the Hernando colt at headquarters, also in September. He did stay on well enough in the closing stages, though, to take thrid spot behind Yeats, well-regarded at Ballydoyle, and Haratila, who won next time out.
At Tramore today, Light On The Broom is fancied to beat the far more experienced pair, Be My Better Half and Snowy Ford, in the Waterford and Tramore Directors Chase.
The selection’s only victory over fences came in a moderate event at Thurles, which he wn in the proverbial canter.
He then stepped up in class, and was the medium of some decent wagers, at Naas last time. But Ger Stack’s gelding made a dreadful blunder three out, ending his chance.
Be My Better Half, useful on his day, has to have had his share of problems - on the basis he doesn’t appear very often - while Snowy Ford hasn’t looked overly reliable of late!
Risk It Paddy is a hopeful choice in the opening www.tramore-racecourse .com Maiden Hurdle.
He performed solidly enough at Down Doyal, when a close third to Ransboro and Coast To Coast. The form was boosted when Coast To Coast scored next time.
Locally trained Laoch Dubh, sixth to Overbury Affair at Leopardstown, is dropped in class and may be good enough to land the Bumper.
