In Thursday's big race at Clonmel my selection Cilaos Emery finished 2nd. The 8/11 favourite didn't jump with any fluency and chased the leader Bachasson throughout,he made some headway from 2 out but couldn't reduce the gap and eventually lost by 5 1/2 lengths.
Two meetings round off the week with 8 races at both Fairyhouse and Dundalk. The feature at Fairyhouse is at 12.25 when 12 begin the Mcgann Energy Consultants Rated Novice Chase. Ujumpthelastuwin made a promising debut over fences at Navan 5 days ago where he came 4th he will definitely improve here and is on the shortlist. Jack Dillinger is a useful hurdler and came a very good second in a handicap chase at Thurles 8 days ago and he should go one better in this race. Heaven Help Us is another good horse who won on this course and over this races 2 mile distance at the beginning of October and she is looking to bounce back after finishing 7th at Cork 12 days ago and returning to her winning trip will definitely suit. The other one to look at is Carrigmoorna Pine who came 5th on his fences debut at Wexford at the end of October and having already won over 2 miles means he should be considered.
The days other big race is at Dundalk at 6.30 when 17 start the Follow Betvictor Racing On Twitter Handicap. Laura Bullion was a very good second on this course and race distance just 2 days ago where she was half a length behind the winner and coming back so soon puts her on the shortlist. Royal Admiral returns to the track where he put in his best performance of the year coming 2nd 4 days ago losing by a neck so another strong run will see him challenge again. The other main contender is Bare With Me who was a very respectable 7th in her last run at Limerick 63 days ago so she should not be overlooked in this one.
Big race predictions: Fairyhouse 12.25: 9:Jack Dillinger Dundalk 6.30: 4: Laura Bullion.
