The week came to a close with results at both ends of the scale. At Cork Peregrine Run was 2nd,the 5/6 favourite settled behind the leaders and was 2nd before the straight. He moved into a narrow lead 2 out but was passed at the last he made no impression òn the run-in allowing Nibblers Charm to win by 3 1/2 lengths. At Kilbeggan Kruzhlinin failed to finish. The 7/1 chance was at the rear of midfield at halfway, he was hampered 4 out and had nothing extra pulling up on the run-in. The race was won by the 20/1 shot The Big Lense.
The weekend begins with 8 races at both Navan and Limerick. The feature at Navan is the opener at 1.00 when 11 start the Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden. Capitulation showed promise when 4th on debut at Down Royal in June,she built on that with a very good third at Bellewstown just 9 days ago. She goes down in trip here and with further improvement likely she gets the nod. Special Power was an encouraging third on the same Bellewstown card 9 days ago,that was his debut and he will definitely improve here making him the main threat. Joe Masseria looked good when 3rd in a maiden at Roscommon at the end of May,he goes down in trip but should challenge. The other one to keep an eye on is Daisy Peers she has been excellent on both her starts a 2nd at Roscommon in May and a 3rd at Leopardstown when last seen in June so she should definitely be in the mix again. The big race at Limerick comes at 1.20 when 16 begin the Adare Beginners Chase. Eagle Moon is a fair chaser who was a respectable 6th in a handicap chase at Tramore 6 days ago,his yard is having a good spell and he should go well here. Grange Walk last picked up a victory at Tramore back in September and he returned there to finish 4th on his fences debut 36 days ago he is definitely open to improvement making him the main danger. Gelee Blanche was 6th in that same Tramore maiden at the beginning of last month,that was also her fences debut having won a hurdle on the same track in April. She should progress and can't be overlooked. Of the others Archies Charm looks good he won on this course in November and despite being a below form 4th in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown 40 days ago he makes his chase debut so shouldn't be ignored.
Big race predictions: Navan: 6: Capitulation Limerick: 5: Eagle Moon.
