Prince Of Fire can burn off rivals
He has produced three solid efforts on the track, is progressive and certainly looks the one they all have to beat.
Charlie Swan’s charge won his maiden here over a mile and a half, staying on dourly to beat subsequent winner, Gort Na Mona, by two lengths.
The seven-year-old then dropped back to an extended ten furlongs last time — in his first handicap — and that was always likely to present a problem.
But he nearly got away with it, only giving best late to Spin Of A Coin, going under by three parts of a length.
The selection now steps back up to 12 furlongs and can reverse placings with Spin Of A Coin, on 8lbs better terms.
Peter Fahy’s Shop DJ gets the nod in the Download Our Mobile App Now Maiden over two miles.
She is a particularly smart mare and has lots of decent efforts over fences and flights to her credit.
This will be Shop Dj’s first venture into flat racing, but it is well to remember that she has won two bumpers, at Cork and the Curragh.
