Sunday was another day that didn't go well for my selection with Soaring Monarch coming 11th,the 9/2 favourite sat in midfield but lost a place 1 1/2 furlongs out. He had no extra in the final furlong with the 5/1 shot Current Option successfully defending his crown beating On A Session by 1/2 a length.
After a busy festival at Galway there is no let up in the action with 2 meetings on Monday an 8 race card at both Naas and Cork. The main event at Naas comes at 2.25 when 24 line-up for the Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes. Ever Given has picked up 3 wins from 4 runs this year his best was at Goodwood 3 days ago,he came home by 2 3/4 lengths and should be well up there here. The obvious threat in the field is Sacred Bridge who is unbeaten after winning on this course in June on debut and a listed race at Tipperary 33 days ago,she was easily on top that day and will definitely challenge. The other one to consider is Bosh a promising horse who is looking for his hat-trick win after a 1 1/4 length victory at Newbury at the beginning of last month, more progress is expected here so he shouldn't be taken lightly. Over at Cork the big race is the 4.55 when 7 start the Buy Tickets Online At Corkracecourse.ie Hurdle. Peregrine Run is a useful hurdler who was a comfortable 3 1/4 length winner at Leopardstown 11 days ago and is the one to beat here. Go Another One won this race last year and looked back on good form when second in a handicap at Kilbeggan 24 days ago and he can definitely give another good account. Heroes Of Renown didn't need to be at his best when he got off the mark in a maiden hurdle over this course and distance last month. This is a tougher test but he still can't be overlooked. The rest of the field will need to up their games significantly to challenge with none of them really standing out.
Big race predictions: Naas: 11: Ever Given Cork: 5: Peregrine Run.
