Thursday's pick Daisy Peers came 3rd. The 11/4 chance was towards the rear of the field until 2 out. She made progress and sat 3rd just over a furlong out but she had no extra inside the final furlong keeping on at the same pace allowing the 9/2 shot Relaxed Artist to win by 3/4 of a length.
An end of the week double header sees 8 races at both Down Royal and Limerick. The main event at Down Royal comes at 4.05 when 14 begin the Island Garden Rooms Handicap Hurdle. Isotope put in another good run when second at Roscommon 10 days ago,he definitely has more in the tank and should go one better here. Run For Oscar is a promising horse who didn't need to improve when winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse back in November,he was a 2 length winner there and despite being off 7 months is definitely the main challenger. Ena Baie was a very creditable third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen 50 days ago,she goes up in trip here which should suit giving her a good chance. Looking at the rest of the field Place Des Vosges stands out she picked up her career best win in a handicap hurdle at Listowel just 11 days ago so she definitely can't be ruled out. The big race at Limerick is the 6.00 when 9 start the Martin Molony Stakes. Sonnyboyliston was a good third to Japan in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester 43 days ago,his yard is in good form and he should open his account for the season here. Lough Derg is a useful filly who was a below form 8th at The Curragh at the beginning of this month,she was unsuited by the way the race developed that day but she should improve going up in trip. O'Reilly was a good third in that same race at The Curragh having picked up a victory on his season return at Leopardstown in April, he should also suit the trip and go well. The other one to look at is Sunchart who was 6th to Helvic Dream in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh when last seen 26 days ago,on paper this looks like an easier race so he is on the shortlist.
Big race predictions: Down Royal: 2: Isotope Limerick: 4: Sonnyboyliston.
