Thursday saw my selection Liffey River finish 4th. The 4/1 chance tracked the leaders and was 3rd 2 furlongs out. However he made no impression in the final furlong dropping a place and watching the 9/2 shot Erzindjan win the race.
The week comes to a close with 7 races at Wexford on Friday where the main event is the 6.25 when 14 start the Garryrichard Stud Veterans Handicap Chase. Great Khan should have picked up his first win of the year at Thurles 20 days ago but a mistake at the last saw him finish a 1 3/4 length second however he should redeem himself here. Bay Hill last ran here in mid 2019 where he won by a length, he was a very creditable 3rd in a handicap chase on his season return at Navan at the beginning of March and should improve making him the main challenger. Ornua won on this course early in his career but it has been 15 runs since his last victory,he finished 5th in the Devenish Chase at Fairyhouse just 4 days ago but this race should suit him better and he can't be ruled out. The other one in with a chance is Crosshue Boy who is a course winner and was a respectable 4th in a handicap chase at Cork on Easter Monday and he should improve here.
Big race prediction: 11: Great Khan.
