The midweek feature saw my pick Star Girls Aalmal win. The 6/4 favourite was prominent and led after a furlong. She asserted herself just over a furlong out keeping on strongly in the closing stages comfortably winning by 4 3/4 lengths.
There are 7 races at Thurles on Thursday where the highlight comes at 12.00 when 10 line-up for the Betvictor Irish EBF Beginners Chase. Beacon Edge is a high-class horse over hurdles who was a very good second on his debut over fences in a novice chase at Down Royal 20 days ago. He stuck to his task there and gets the vote here. The Bosses Oscar is a promising individual who was 3rd at Galway at the end of October. He definitely has a bigger effort over fences in him and has the potential to show it making him the main challenger. The other high on the shortlist is Stratum a useful hurdler who picked up his career best win on this course 28 days ago. He was 6 lengths clear when he crossed the line and with this being his chase debut he is a player. Looking at the rest keep West Cork Wildway in mind, despite falling in a novice chase at Killarney on his fences debut 46 days ago he goes up in trip here and can definitely still be a good chaser so shouldn't be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 2: Beacon Edge.
