We ended the week with my selection Great Khan coming 3rd. The 10/3 chance chased the leaders early but mistakes at the 2nd and the 4th saw him sitting 5th 3 out. He moved up to 3rd in the closing stages but another mistake 2 out gave him nothing extra before the last with the 11/4 favourite Ornua winning.
Another weekend begins with 8 races at Dundalk where the highlight is the opening contest on the card at 1.10 when 9 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden. Cadamosto makes his debut here and looks like the one to beat,this 2 year old trained by Aidan O'brien should go the same way as his stablemate Tenebrism who looked very good when she won her first contest at Naas 13 days ago. Threebagsfull was 6th in that Naas race but despite that finish he still has a very good chance and shouldn't be overlooked. Silver Surfer was 4th on debut at The Curragh 20 days ago, switching to the all-weather surface should suit and he will definitely improve. The rest of the field all make their debuts here with Bayou Belle,Black Pepper and Nepalaise among the runners and it will be interesting to see how they all go. There is also the small matter of the Grand National at Aintree at 5.15 with 40 tackling the 4 miles 2 furlongs. However you pick your horse good luck but if your going on form then Cloth Cap should win but the likes of Burrows Saint,Farclas and Any Second Now won't make it easy.
Big race predictions: Dundalk: 1: Cadamosto Aintree: 28: Cloth Cap.
