Affair can recoup losses
The daughter of Indian Ridge is reportedly well-regarded by Dermot Weld and was fully expected to make a winning start at Fairyhouse last month.
But she proved rather disappointing, only managing to finish fourth behind main market-rival, John Oxx’s Saga Celebre.
End Of The Affair was struggling from early in the straight and clearly did not see out the ten furlongs. Weld has quickly dropped her down to seven furlongs and, hopefully, that will now do the trick.
Feature event is the richly endowed Group 3 Denny Cordell and Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes and this is a bit of a puzzle.
Timarwa is given a final chance to fulfil early-season promise, having looked a possible star in the making.
She has, however, proved most frustrating, enjoying little luck in running on her latest appearance when a close fourth to Many Colours at the Curragh.
Another who had far from a clear passage last time, Aidan O’Brien’s Wassily Kandinsky, behind Final Flashback at Galway, gets the vote in the Nursery.
At Dundalk tonight, O’Brien’s New Zealand can land the Fingal Independent EBF Maiden. He got bogged down in the heavy ground at Tralee when failing to justify cramped odds, but is probably better judged on his previous effort at Naas.
The Gaileo colt went under by half a length to Kyniska, who was runner-up in a Group 3 at the Curragh on Sunday.
Davidii, who seems to have a definite preference for this surface rather than grass, should go close in the Drogheda Independent Handicap.
