Maiden Hurdle 2 Miles
Blue Lemons (Paul) ran on the flat in England for Richard Hannon and is having his first run for us today. It’s always a worry getting a flat horse to jump but this fellow has schooled very well. If he settles well he has a great chance.
Redmills Trial Hurdle 2 Miles
Kitzbuhel (Paul) gained lots of fans when winning at Punchestown on his first run for us. He will have to run to a rating of at least 145 if he is to win this but we think he is capable of doing so.
Sir Gerhard (Danny) will have gained a lot of confidence when winning a charity race last time and without doubt is not out of the equation here.
Red Mills Chase 2m 4f
Saint Sam (Paul) won this race last year and is really well suited by the ground and trip. If he brings his A game he will be very hard to beat.
Classic Getaway (Danny) is also a course and distance winner and was second at Thurles last time. However, he faces totally different conditions here and that might mitigate against him.
Beginners Chase 2m 4f
Blizzard Of Oz is Paul’s pick for this competitive affair. He ran very well here on Thyestes day and a repeat of that form should enable him to prevail today.
Lisnagar Fortune (Danny) has a bit of work to do if he is to get to Blizzard Of Oz. Unless Danny can work a miracle he is probably best watched.
Lombron (Brian Hayes) was fourth in a very good beginners chase at Naas and has a definite chance here.
O’Moore Park (Sean O’Keeffe) is very unlucky to have two letters in front of his name and if he stands up today he’s not out of it.
Ronan Lawlor Memorial Mares Bumper 2m 1f
Introversio (Patrick) finished lame when fourth on his debut at Punchestown. We are giving him the benefit of the doubt here and expecting him to run a big race at our local track.
