Justpourit set to come good
He is trained by Dessie Hughes, who has his charges in fine shape, as evidenced by the Curragh handler taking four races at last week's Leopardstown Festival.
Justpourit is a horse who has often flattered to deceive and that was certainly the case on his latest two appearances.
On this track he looked all over a winner, but was run out if it close home by Wanango and then at Navan last time he started an even-money favourite.
The selection could never get to grips with the front-running Eurochancer however, and went under by three and a half lengths.
Stepping up a couple of furlongs in trip now should help and this slick jumper, touch wood, can enjoy a turn against moderate opposition.
The eventsmarketsireland.com Maiden Hurdle can fall to Offaly, another well capable of trying one's patience.
He is down in class, though, having finished a well beaten fifth behind two particularly smart horses in De Valira and Arrive Sir Clive at Fairyhouse.
Previously Offaly made all to beat the subsequent winner, Notre Pere, in a Punchestown bumper and it is possible Paul Carberry may attempt similar tactics!
A little each-way on Arthur Moore's Green Black shouldn't miss the target by too much in the First Crack Handicap Hurdle.
He was beaten three lengths and a short head into third behind Shifting Alliance and The Royal Dub (gave 10lbs) at Fairyhouse last month and has obvious prospects with a useful 7lbs claimer on board.
All the indications over the weekend were that there was little hope of Tramore going ahead, but the track passed a 2pm inspection yesterday afternoon. A further inspection at 8am this morning has to be negotiated, but if the green light is given then Lady Sagamix, third behind Hot Port at Leopardstown, can take the James F Wallace Chartered Accountants' Maiden Hurdle.
