23/8/21 Ballinrobe

 Sunday saw my pick Cyclamen come 4th. The 7/2 chance led early but she was passed 1 1/2 furlongs from the finish. She dropped to 3rd a furlong out making no further impression, the 33/1 shot Cigamia won beating Past Time by 2 3/4 lengths.

 We begin the week with 8 races at Ballinrobe on Monday where the feature is the 5.15 when 14 start the Hollymount Nursing Home Handicap Hurdle. Flying Scotsman picked up his first win over hurdles at Navan in June staying on well to come home by 1 3/4 lengths,his handicap hurdle debut at Galway 3 weeks ago saw him finish a respectable 9th but he really couldn't show what he's capable of and with more to come he should do that here. Na Caith Tobac picked up his career best win in a novice hurdle on this course 34 days ago,he makes his handicap hurdle debut here and will challenge. The other potential threat could be Born To Rule he won on this course 2 weeks ago by a short head,that was his first victory over hurdles and he returns to make his handicap hurdle debut so can't be ruled out.

Big race prediction: 3: Flying Scotsman.
