A hectic bank holiday weekend is in store, with two meetings in Ireland on each of the three days. This afternoon’s action is in Listowel and Tramore, both hosting National Hunt racing, and the nap on a difficult day goes to Kara Sacre, in the third race at the Kerry venue.
Paul Nolan’s lightly-raced five-year-old gelding contests the Eamon Foran Memorial Maiden Hurdle and if he can return to the form he showed when winning his only point-to-point and when runner-up on his track debut, he will take a great deal of beating. He was a touch below that when third last time, but he wasn’t doing his rider any favours in the closing stages.
