It was a good Sunday for both my picks at Thurles,in the 2.40 Minella Melody finished 3rd. The 9/4 favourite was 5th at halfway making headway to dispute the lead approaching the straight. She was 3rd at the last making no impression on the run-in allowing the 7/2 shot Ballyshannon Rose to win by 1/2 a length. In the other big race Allaho enhanced his Cheltenham credentials by taking the Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase. The 4/11 favourite made all the running and was 2 lengths clear 3 out. He asserted himself approaching the last keeping on well to easily beat Fakir D’Oudairies by 12 lengths.
After an exciting weekend Irish racing takes a break on Monday. There are however meetings at Southwell,Kempton and Wolverhampton for you to enjoy. The next Irish card is at Down Royal on Tuesday my preview of that will be up on Monday night.
