Side with Sceilg

On the basis that bad will beat worse, Sceilg is napped to land the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey And Trainer Championship Maiden at Dundalk tonight.

Formerly trained by Jim Bolger, she is now in the care of Brendan Duke. Sceilg, however, remains in the ownership of Bolger’s wife, Jackie.

Sceilg has hit the bar on a number of occasions, finishing second three times. Her latest appearance was at the Curragh in the middle of September, taking sixth of 17 in a competitive handicap won by Placere.
