Cuchulains Son to atone
He ran prominently for much of the journey then, but wasn't going to be
involved when falling at the final flight in a contest won by Our Gar.
That race was over two and a half miles and, prior to that, the selection ran a cracker, over two, when third to Slievecorragh at Naas. Everything is relative and Cuchulains Son has to be given a chance to atone for Punchestown, against moderate opposition.
Joanna Morgan’s Jigalo is capable of a big run in the P and D Lydon Plant Hire Handicap Chase. He is good shape right now, having won a competitive handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival.
Jigalo took the prize off a mark of 118 and races here 9lbs below that rating.
Ballyadam Brook makes the long trip from Cork to contest the Western People Maiden Hurdle and has to go close.
He seems to be on the upgrade,indicating at his local track last time his turn may not be long delayed when third to Pay The Bounty and Drive On Regardles.
The Roundfort Beginners Chase is best left to Michael Cullen's relatively experienced Annual Report.
He was still in contention when falling two out in the race eventually won by Noble Concorde at Fairyhouse.
