Discovery Bay is ready to strike
He failed to win in eight attempts for Roger Charlton in England, but his first outing for Swan on this track three weeks ago indicated that his turn might not be delayed for long more.
The son of Dansili finished third behind another Swan inmate, Prince Of Fire, and Gort Na Mona and was noted staying on quite nicely at the end of that mile and a half.
He is obviously entitled to come on for the run and the form received a minor boost subsequently when Gort Na Mona won.
The aforementioned Prince Of Fire is fancied to initiate a double for Swan in the Horseware Owners and Trainers Bar Launch 24th February Handicap.
He has taken really well to this surface and there was plenty to admire in the manner in which he went about his business here last time.
Eddie Lynam’s Roman General gets the nod in the Dundalk Maiden, having finished with a flourish when runner-up behind Kedleston in a handicap at Dundalk a week ago.
Jim Gorman’s Rigid Rock should take all the beating in the Group Discounts At Dundalk Handicap.
Partnered by a 7lbs claimer here last week, he went under by a short head to Copper Dock. Rigid Rock would surely have won with stronger handling and Kevin Manning now takes over.
