Thursday didn't go well as my selection Acapella Bourgeois finished 5th. The 7/1 joint favourite led early but slipped to 3rd by halfway. He was 6th by 3 out but could only find one pace on the run-in picking up a place. The race was won by the 8/1 chance Coko Beach.
The meeting due to have taken place at Navan on Saturday is now the Friday afternoon card with the big race at 1.55 when 20 line up for the rescheduled Navan Handicap Hurdle where Damalisque is still my pick. The other meeting on Friday is at Dundalk where the feature is the 6.30 when 12 start the Follow Us On Twitter @Dundalkstadium Handicap. Whatharm enjoys running here he was at his best when winning over this races 7 furlong distance 42 days ago,that was his second victory in a row and he should make it three keeping up his fine form. Major Power had a fine 2020 at Dundalk winning three on the bounce over 7 furlongs,his last run was 10 months ago when he finished 2nd here and he has a big shout in this one. War Hero's six career wins have all been at Dundalk including his best in a handicap a week ago where he beat Eglish (who runs again here) by 1/2 a length he also won this race last year so cannot be ruled out.
Big race predictions: Navan 1.55: 16:Damalisque Dundalk 6.30: 1: Whatharm.
