Budgie can wing home in final

FAT BUDGIE stands out in the Rochestown Park Hotel Stakes final at Curraheen Park tonight.

He has been the star of the show to date in the event, carding 28.17 before producing a record equalling 28.14 effort last week.

Drawn in five tonight, Fat Budgie will need to be on his toes at traprise but this class act should be up to the task.

Fat Budgie is trained by Paul Hennessy and Tyrur Jenny can also strike for the kennel in heat six of the Barry’s Tea 700.

A strong-finishing third in last month’s Cork Oaks final, Tyrur Jenny looks a cut above her rivals.

Hennessy’s Air Force Honcho, a 41.53 course and distance winner last term, should prove a tough nut to crack in heat four.

Dolores Ruth’s prolific scorer Lemon Rambo can confirm his standing as one of the top stayers in the country by taking heat one.

The Brian McCann-trained eight-times winner Jordans Elect looks the business in heat two.
