Sea can skate in
The progressive five-year-old may well have got first run on the handicapper, appearing to have several pounds in hand.
She ran the race of her life at Gowran Park on Tuesday night. Sea Skate finished two lengths second behind Good Surprise, travelling well through the contest and finding plenty for pressure in the straight.
That was a much better race than this and Dick Donohoe’s charge, who has won round here before, will surely go up plenty in the future.
Blue Corrig, with Ruby Walsh a significant booking, is the one to beat in the Richard Power Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle.
He performed solidly at Galway when beaten a neck and three and a half lengths into third behind Mahdi De Coeur and Thunder Road.
Polly Anthus is probably the danger and would have been the selection, but for being raised 8lbs for finishing three parts of a length second to Coolfore Glen at Sligo last week.
Dash Of Grey has shown his liking for this track in the past and is the choice in the Beat 102-103 FM Claiming Race.
Paul Nolan’s charge comes here in good shape, having finished a close third behind Carlesimo and Mountain Snow in a two mile handicap at Galway.
Delshanom, a respectable fourth in the contest won by well-backed Shannon Mist at Tipperary eight days ago, has prospects in the Tramore Amusements Park and Leisure Centre Mares Bumper.
