Consistent Savitha can reap reward
Sacundai and Say Again are interesting participants coming off 839 and 763-day breaks respectively. Sacundai is ten now and Say Again is a year older so the pair are probably best watched in this.
Rights Of Man would seem sure to go well with a front-running effort but the conditions of this event do not favour the 107 day absent gelding. Meanwhile, the yard of Arc En Ciel hasn’t been firing, one simply couldn’t depend on Boleyknowsbest performing to his rating of 111 and Howandever, Monarch Pass and Shanballa are very unlikely to be a factor.
This leaves us with Savitha (stable companion of Say Again). She reportedly strengthened up well following a long break, she goes on any ground and has been in consistent form lately.
Top The Charts’ position in the market will tell plenty prior to the 4.00 and if fancied he’s the one to be on. Half-an-hour later, the same stable’s Cornhill Lad (Tony Martin) is also suggested.
Up North at Down Royal, the wait to see Mhic Mocroi strut his stuff under Rules is due to come to an end. Point-to-point followers are in little doubt that this fellow is a star of the future and Eric McNamara’s dual victor between the flags can see off the likely strong opposition of Agus A Vic in the hands of the excellent Jack Doyle.
The aforementioned Tony Martin can also get on the scoresheet at this meet, courtesy of Aintree-bound Dun Doire.
Limerick have moved their St Patrick’s Day meeting to Sunday this year and the mares take centre stage on a seven race card at Greenmount Park.
Laetitia looks sure to start a short price for the Grade 3 Bank Of Ireland EBF Mares Novice Chase.
Charles Byrnes’ charge made a highly encouraging return to action in the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran last month when third to the top-class pair Newmill and Macs Joy.
She could prove a different league on her chasing debut if taking to the bigger obstacles. Sabina Park has improved with every run this season and could be the one to give her most to do.
The Dawn Omega Milk EBF Mares Novice Hurdle looks a more competitive affair.
Blazing Sky has proven herself a classy performer and returned to winning ways when too strong for Candy Girl at Downpatrick last time.
Chomba Womba ran a cracker at Thurles last time when making Kazal work very hard and she commands utmost respect on that form.
There is also a competitive handicap chase for punters to get their teeth into and Time To Sell may be able to repeat last month’s success at the course.
