The week kicked off with my pick Ides Of August coming 2nd,the 9/4 joint favourite travelled well and led from 1 1/2 furlongs out. He was strongly pressed inside the final furlong and was passed close to home with nothing extra TakeachanceJimmy won by 1 1/4 lengths.
Tuesday sees a second day at Ballinrobe where the highlight of an 8 race card comes at 5.25 when 15 begin the Boylesports Handicap Hurdle. Demi Plie wasn't seen at her best when 3rd at Punchestown 50 days ago,despite that she can show how good she is here giving her a shout. Rain In Spain has been on the up recently culminating in her career best win at Cork at the beginning of this month and she is definitely well in the mix. Oscer Romero was a course and distance winner in May easily passing the post 9 1/2 lengths in front. He was a creditable 6th in his last race at Limerick 54 days ago despite being unsuited by the way the contest developed and he is on the shortlist here. The other one to look at in this competitive field is Falak who has won twice at Dundalk this year and was a very respectable 7th when last seen at Down Royal 32 days ago and he can definitely make his presence felt.
Big race prediction: 6: Demi Plie.
