On the beach at Laytown on Monday my pick Raamez was 2nd,the 5/1 shot was 2nd at halfway challenging a furlong out. He kept on well but was bumped inside the final furlong and he made no impression close to home with the 7/1 chance Limit Long winning by 1/2 a length.
Fairyhouse stages 8 races on Tuesday where the main event is the 2.15 when just 5 begin the fairyhouse.ie Hurdle. Ciel De Neige is a useful horse who picked up a victory at Sligo 11 days ago. He was 2 3/4 lengths in front at the finish after keeping on well in the closing stages making him a big player here. Trainer Gordon Elliott has been in good form since his return and has 2 in this field who should challenge. Queen's Brook last won on this course in October last year and this good hurdler was a respectable 2nd at Wexford 9 days ago. She was clear of the rest there and will be in the mix here. The other Elliott runner on the shortlist is Wide Receiver who after winning a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on Boxing Day last year returned there and finished 10th to Appreciate It in the Chanelle Pharma Novices Hurdle back in February. Despite being off 8 months he definitely can’t be ruled out on his return.
Big race prediction: 1: Ciel De Neige.
