Sunday saw some decent results for my picks,at Downpatrick Gevrey was 4th. The 5/2 shot was chasing the leaders when he slipped on the bend before the 5th,he recovered to be 4th at the last but made no impression leaving the 14/1 chance Dollar Value to win by 1 1/2 lengths. At The Curragh Go Bears Go was 3rd. The 6/4 favourite was 3rd early and was disputing the lead a furlong out. He dropped back to 3rd inside the final furlong keeping on without threatening with Ebro River winning by 3/4 of a length.
The week kicks off with 8 races at Ballinrobe where the highlight is the 6.15 when 12 begin the Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle. Cream Sparkles impressed on her second run over hurdles finishing 3rd at the Galway festival 12 days ago, a repeat of that performance might just be good enough for a win here. Cute Cherry is a promising horse who was a good 6th at Cork a week ago,she goes significantly up in trip but there is plenty more to come from her and she will challenge. Valley Breeze was 4th on his hurdles debut at Sligo when last seen back in August 2019,he is of interest here because trainer Willie Mullins has persevered with him and it will be interesting to see if he repays the faith shown in him. The other on the shortlist is Helisone she makes her debut here but she comes from the yard of Henry De Bromhead so can't be ruled out.
Big race prediction: 9: Cream Sparkles.
