Salt Lake can make bookies feel the pinch

Now in the care of Edward O'Grady, he hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in a 24-runner 12 furlongs handicap at the Curragh back in April.

It was his first outing in this country, however, which indicated he may well be a horse with a bright future over jumps.

At Limerick the Monsun gelding was beaten four and a half lengths into second place by the useful Josephine Cullen and, if the market now speaks in his favour, then a half-decent wager may be appropriate.

The Michael O'Brien trained Swift Post was out of her depth when fifth to Ecole d'Art at Galway, but should relish the drop in class in the Pat Doyle Memorial Mares Novice Hurdle and gets the vote.

The aforementioned Ecole d'Art represents one of the best bets of the night in the Paddy McGee Ltd Novice Hurdle at Wexford.

The display of the one-eyed five-year-old at Ballybrit was a revelation, as he made all to beat Do The Trick a snug two and a half lengths.

Do The Trick paid that form a handsome compliment when recording a clear-cut success at Sligo on Tuesday.

Breaking Silence looked a nice horse in the making when third in a bumper at Clonmel and when scoring next time at Cork. Tom Taaffe's charge is the choice in the tote.ie Maiden Hurdle.
