The first big race of the year went well with my pick Ginto winning. The 5/4 favourite led narrowly early but was put under pressure at the 3rd. He had an increased advantage at the 6th with his lead being reduced 4 out. He asserted himself again on the run-in keeping on well to beat Grand Jury by 4 1/4 lengths. After his odds for the Cheltenham Festival were cut he is now 8/1 for the Ballymore and 5/1 for the Albert Bartlett.
After an exciting Sunday there is no more Irish racing until Wednesday. Action does take place at Southwell, Lingfield, Musselburgh and Wolverhampton on Monday and Lingfield, Hereford and Newcastle on Tuesday. The next Irish meeting is the midweek card at Dundalk my preview of that will be up on Tuesday night.
