Keep faith in Conna
Jimmy Mangan’s charge came right back to his best form at Listowel and a reproduction of that effort should be good enough.
He certainly dug deep on that occasion, finding plenty for Davy Russell pressure in the closing stages to beat the useful Knight Legend by a short head.
Articulation seemed to enjoy being allowed bowl along in front when scoring impressively at Killarney and Jubilant Note will love this flat track, as long as the surface remains on the good side.
Corrieann too has a life, but Conna Castle is a classy sort when on song and is fancied to cut them all down in the closing stages.
The frustrating Angel Dreamer is the nap choice in the opening Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden. She was a costly failure at Galway three weeks ago, failing to cope with Kevin Prendergast’s well-backed Reyaada.
Dermot Weld now fits blinkers for the first time and, given a favourable draw, Angel Dreamer is worth another chance.
Weld can complete a double with the unraced Provincial in the Lecarrow Maiden. He’s highly rated at Rosewell House and comes from the first crop of Aldebaran, who was a top sprinter in America.
Millanymare, who scored with plenty in hand at Listowel, could be capable of shrugging off a 9lbs rise in the weights in the ladbrokes.com Handicap Chase.
