Cellar can go one better
Ken Condon's charge contested a competitive handicap hurdle at Killarney four days ago and emerged with reputation greatly enhanced. The five-year-old ran the race of his life, staying on strongly from the final flight to get within a neck of the smart The Last Hurrah.
Prior to that Cellarmaster, having a second pop over fences, performed with promise on this track when third behind Room To Room Suite.
The Noel Glynn-trained Serve Time can make a winning debut over jumps in the McDonald Motors Maiden Hurdle. He landed a real touch, morning prices and on course, when winning a bumper at Sligo last month and this is a weak race.
Harry Rogers has had a terrible campaign so far, but there are signs his horses may be about to hit form. Stravinskaya, runner-up behind Tubbertown Girl at the Curragh, can get him away to a flier in the Paddy Smyth Memorial Handicap.
Rogers has possibilities of a double with Chuinn Mhuire in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Coranna Handicap. He was grabbed late and beaten a head by King Rama at Killarney and competes now off a mark just 2lbs higher.
