On Saturday my selection Damalisque didn't run as the meeting at Navan was called off after an early morning inspection found the track was frozen and unfit for racing.
After the postponement on Saturday Thurles hosts 7 races on Sunday with the main event being the opener at 1.30 when 10 start the Coolmore N.H. Sires Kew Gardens Irish EBF Mares Novice Chase. Colreevy is a promising horse who had a good end to 2020 picking up two wins an easy 15 lengths at Punchestown was followed by victory in the Faugheen Novice Chase at Limerick on Boxing Day and she should make it 3 in a row here. The main challenger looks to be Yukon Lil who has had one win from two runs this season that came at Cork in late November where she stayed on well to come home by 3 1/2 lengths, her last run was a creditable 3rd at Navan 37 days ago and there is definitely more to come. The only other one with a big chance is Mount Ida who was at her best when winning at Cork when last seen at the beginning of December,she impressed that day to come home by 4 1/2 lengths and despite going up in trip here she definitely has the talent to make her presence felt.
Big race prediction: 1: Colreevy.
