First of all apologies for saying that Saturday was the end of the Irish jumps season it was just the end of Punchestown's until October. Today's card at Down Royal was the start of their new jumps season and there are more jumps meetings this week. Now to Monday's results and we kicked off the week with two winners. At The Curragh Broome came home by 2 lengths the 4/9 favourite beat Helvic Dream. While at Down Royal the 4/1 chance Benruben beat Thatsy by 5 1/2 lengths.
It's another double bill on Tuesday with 7 races at Gowran Park and 8 at Ballinrobe, the main event at Gowran Park is the 3.10 when 14 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap. MK Drama was a winner over this course and distance back in October and was a very good third in a handicap at The Curragh when last seen 44 days ago and she gets the nod here. Sister Lola also enjoys Gowran Park having won here in April,she was a creditable 4th at Dundalk just over 2 weeks ago and is definitely a threat. Fearless Girl returns to the course where she was 3rd in a handicap 27 days ago,she goes back up in trip and is definitely on the shortlist. The other one with a good chance is Dedillon who has picked up 2 wins from 5 runs this year her best was at Limerick 10 days ago and she is looking for her hat-trick win here so is definitely in the mix. The big contest at Ballinrobe comes at 7.40 when 17 start the Supermac's Handicap Chase. Mon Storm was a creditable 9th in a handicap hurdle on this course 18 days ago,he makes his handicap chase debut here and shouldn't be taken lightly. Champagne Beauty put in a career best performance when winning at Wexford in early April and she is the main challenger here. Knockmoylan is a promising horse who was 10th in a novice chase at Gowran Park when last seen 63 days ago,he is capable of better and can show that in this race. The other danger is The Echo Boy who only lost by a short head to Champagne Beauty at Wexford and with a repeat run shouldn't be ruled out.
Big race predictions: Gowran Park: 10: MK Drama Ballinrobe: 4: Mon Storm.
