Dizzy’s Dream can follow up
Noel Meade's gelding got off the mark in fine style at Fairyhouse last month, following a couple of mildly disappointing performances.
Well supported in the market, he came through strongly in the closing stages to beat Tiger Cry and subsequent Thurles winner, Boleyknowsbest, by four lengths and eight lengths.
It was a decent enough effort, considering he appeared less than happy on the heavy surface.
The ground today is likely to be far more to Dizzy's Dream's liking and stepping up another two furlongs in trip can only work in his favour.
Paul Carberry partners the six-year-old and has real prospects of a double aboard Verchoyles Lad in the Three Days Of Cheltenham Handicap 'Chase.
This is a weak contest and Verchoyles Lad's chance is obvious, having gone down by three parts of a length to Its Over (rec. 16lbs) at Navan last week.
It's Over boosted the form when turning out two days later to score over flights at Down Royal.
Willie Mullins' Diego Garcia gets the nap to land a very interesting opening race, the Greenmount Maiden Hurdle.
He's been threatening for a little while and it was only by a length that he lost out to stable companion, Raikkonen, at Gowran Park.
In the second section of that particular event, Leonardo De Vinci was beaten a short head by another Mullins inmate, Silk Screen, and is put forward as the biggest danger.
Definate Spectacle, successful twice on the flat last season for Kevin Prendergast and now in the care of Noel Meade, is worth noting in the market and on the track!
No Messin', who has been running well in the point-to-point fields and was third to Mr Ventura and Coolnahilla at Naas earlier in the month, is a hopeful choice in the betfair.com Grand National Trial Handicap 'Chase.
