Thursday was a good day with my selection Grand Paradis winning. The 7/2 chance led from 2 out and despite a slight mistake at the last he kept on strongly on the run-in and easily came home by 13 lengths.
Despite the loss of Gowran Park one meeting does survive the weather on Friday with 8 races taking place at Dundalk, the highlight comes at 4.30 when 9 begin the Willie Buckley Memorial Handicap. Blackstone Cliff has a good record at Dundalk winning twice his last was by 1 3/4 lengths at the beginning of this month. He was second to Spelga (who goes again here) 9 days ago and should be well up there in this one. Longclaw won three in a row over hurdles in 2020 at Roscommon, Down Royal and Listowel. With this being his handicap debut and a first run for a new yard he is definitely one to consider. The other with a good chance is Tower Of Pisa her latest win was here at Dundalk in early December by an easy 6 1/2 lengths. Her only run since then was a 4th place in a handicap here 21 days ago. Progress is expected and she could definitely spring a surprise.
Big race prediction: 8: Blackstone Cliff.
