Film Festival can reel ’em in
Michael Kinane travels west to take the mount on the son of Diesis and that is hardly a minus. It has to be said the selection has essentially been disappointing, but this does look a good opportunity.
He went off a strong favourite at Navan last time, but could only manage third behind 20-1 shot Cassandra Jade and Silent Confession.
The form may not be too bad, however, with Silent Confession performing solidly at the Curragh on Saturday night.
Best contest of the evening is the Frank Hannon Memorial Hurdle, which is narrowed down to Proud To Be Irish and Baltimore Hill.
Proud To Be Irish beat Ballyagran two lengths at Kilbeggan and is fancied to confirm the placings on 3lbs worse terms.
Baltimore Hill, who will relish the quick surface, is on a hat-trick having taken a moderate event at Limerick and then returning to the track to beat Artiste Bay and Saturday's Cork winner, Flying Johnny M. Proud To Be Irish gets preference.
The Connollys' Red Mills Horse Care Cubes Maiden Hurdle won't take a lot of winning and, perhaps, front-running Count Kearney can squeeze home.
Steve Mahon's four-year-old has been given a nice break since the Cheltenham Festival and only has to repeat his length and a half second to Quatre Heures, admittedly he was greatly flattered, at Fairyhouse back in February to go very close in this company.
