No denying Commonchero’s prospects in this company
Michael O'Brien's Commonchero - he goes well in the soft - gets the nap to land the McDonogh Properties Chase. The nine-year-old is not one who can be trusted implicitly, but there is no denying his prospects in this company. He warmed up with a smooth victory at Tipperary ten days ago, cruising to an eight lengths defeat of the moderate Laragh House.
O'Brien can also supply the solution to the opening tote.ie Online Betting Maiden Hurdle with Mesopotamia, a son of Sadler's Wells. The ground was very testing when he was beaten 11 lengths into second by Line Ball at Punchestown back in May.
The form isn't over exciting, but ability to handle the surface sways us towards him.
Dermot Weld's Supposition will make short work of her rivals in the Tote Exacta EBF Fillies Maiden, if she goes on the ground. The daughter of Dansili was well touted when making her debut at the Curragh and the talk was far from misplaced.
Supposition was beaten a neck by Aidan O'Brien's well-regarded Duke Of Marmalade, who runs in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood tomorrow.
Weld has a strong hand in the featured Tote Galway Mile EBF Premier Handicap, a contest in which there is simply no cause for optimism. In any case his Absolute Image, an unlucky second to Bush Maiden at the Curragh, is the choice. Being by Indian Ridge, the grey should be at home on the ground and is particularly well drawn.
Another Weld possibility is Diman in the Tote EBF Maiden. The newcomer by Namid represents a yard which had three other possibilities, all with reasonable form.
