Friday racing preview: Snaffles can get off the mark at second time of asking

Joseph O’Brien’s colt Snaffles made his debut in a Leopardstown maiden won by Tut Tut

Two more meetings on Friday, one Flat and one National Hunt, and the nap goes to Snaffles, who can get off the mark at the second time of asking by taking the Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden, the third race on Down Royal’s programme.

Joseph O’Brien’s colt made his debut in a Leopardstown maiden won by Tut Tut and his lack of experience surely cost him more than the two lengths he was beaten into fifth place.
