In Wednesday's big race my selection Feelgood Island was 2nd. The 3/1 favourite led early and looked comfortable until 2 out,he was soon passed and was 3rd at the last. He picked up a place on the run-in but was no match for the winner Bythesametoken who came home by 1/2 a length.
Thurles hosts 7 races on Thursday with the big contest coming at 5.15 when 11 begin the Thurles Handicap Hurdle. Low Lie The Fields is looking for a hat-trick of wins after a 3 3/4 length victory at Limerick and 3 1/2 lengths at Punchestown when last seen in mid January. He moves further up in trip here and should win again. Beyond The Law ran well early but faded to finish 7th at Naas 11 days ago but if he spreads out his performance and is ridden less aggressively he definitely has a good chance. Kellyiscool looked good on his first run for a new yard at Fairyhouse 12 days ago,the fifth place finish was his first run in 26 months and if he can back up that run with another good performance here then he shouldn't be ruled out. The only other one who could challenge for the top places is Snugsborough Benny who was a very good fifth on his last run at Galway 7 months ago he switches to hurdles here and needs to improve.
Big race prediction: 6: Low Lie The Fields.
