On this afternoon’s card in Dundalk, Tooreen Angel can get off the mark in the opening race, the irishinjuredjockeys.com Maiden. Last time out, over course and distance, Fozzy Stack’s filly was hampered early and off the pace as a result, but finished to great effect to take second place behind favourite Mosala.
Although Jungle Cove is higher rated, the selection finished in front of that rival last time and with a clear run today can confirm that form. Melliferous showed some promise on debut and is clearly open to plenty of improvement, but Battle Of Benburn may provide a sterner test on this occasion. He ran well on his all-weather debut and should appreciate dropping back to ten and a half furlongs. Blinkers first time might sharpen him up enough to be a leading player this time.
