Poste set to finally deliver

WASHINGTON POSTE has a leading chance of finally enjoying a turn in the Blue Thunder Fast Foods Maiden at Ballinrobe this evening.

The three-year-old, formerly in the care of Kevin Prendergast, will be having a first run for Limerick handler, Patrick Hayes, and will be partnered by his brother, Chris.

Essentially, the son of Halling hasn't progressed in the manner one would have hoped, but it is encouraging his two best efforts have come over this course and distance.

At Ballinrobe in early May, he finished two lengths second to Vision Of Grandeur in a race which has worked out particularly well.

Washington Poste returned to this track for his latest effort, again showing his liking for the delights of Ballinrobe, when beaten five lengths into second by Major Title. Hopefully, he will now give new connections the ideal start.

Sean Treacy's Coolgreaney should prove difficult to beat in the McDonald Motors Beginners Chase.

She made a fine start over fences when runner-up behind Prairie Moonlight at Fairyhouse, jumping for fun, until tiring on the approach to the last.

Togher Castle, well backed to score at Killarney last week, can redeem any losses incurred in the Paddy Smyth Memorial Handicap.

He stayed on strongly on that occasion to get within half a length of Shesthebiscuit and runs here off the same mark.
