Rock can bring Fenton some much-needed cheer
Fenton saddles Whisper Rock and capable amateur, Kevin Power, can guide the six-year-old home in front.
The selection finished third in a similar race at Punchestown in January and was then afforded a decent break before reappearing in a bumper at Thurles at the end of last month.
Heavily supported in the market, Whisper Rock stayed on doggedly in the straight to score by four and a half lengths.
The bare form is undoubtedly ordinary, but the daughter of Presenting impressed with her attitude and can go in again.
Mozoltov, a faller at the first in the JLT Chase at Cheltenham, can get back on the winning trail in the navanracecourse.ie Novice Chase.
Lightly raced, he is a classy sort when on song and has to be fancied to again cope with Mount Colah, which he had sixteen and a half lengths behind in third when taking a beginners chase at Fairyhouse in December.
Mouse Morris’ Baily Green gets the nod in the four-runner Grade 2 Webster Cup Chase, despite the fact he would prefer better ground. Still in contention when falling four out in the two-mile Champion Chase at Cheltenham, Baily Green does look the most reliable proposition.
Dessie Hughes’ Emperor Of Exmoor is clearly no star, but his second to Is Love Alive at Leopardstown last time entitles him to preference in the Annual Family Day 18th May Maiden Hurdle.
The nap vote tomorrow falls on John Oxx’s Marakoush in the Bulmers’ Live At Leopardstown Summer Raceday 2014 Maiden.
As a son of Danehill Dancer, the likely soft surface should not present a problem and he certainly caught the eye when runner-up behind Aidan O’Brien’s Century at the Curragh in October.
At Limerick tomorrow, Conor O’Dwyer’s Folsom Bue is the fancy in the Grade 2 Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase. A dour stayer who handles heavy ground well, he arrives on the back of a solid effort when fourth to Gallant Oscar in a valuable handicap at Naas.
