Friday's pick Chicago Lightening finished 2nd. The 5/4 favourite led early but was put under pressure 2 out. She was challenged inside the final furlong and passed close to home. Her stablemate Sixteen Arches won the 12/1 shot came home by a neck.
If it passes a 7.30am inspection then a seven race card will take place at Cork on Saturday where the main event is the 2.13 when 12 begn the Racing Again March 24th Handicap Hurdle. Scheu Time has been a course winner in his career and arrives here after finishing a good 4th at Cheltenham when last seen 56 days ago. He holds good claims and looks like the way to go in this one. That's Lifebuoy put in her best recent performance when a creditable second in a chase at Tramore a week ago. She switches to hurdles here and goes back up in trip making her the main threat. In an open handicap the other to focus on is Castlegrange who was a very good second at Limerick 12 days ago. He wears cheekpieces for the first time and is well in the mix. Of the rest there are two who could spring a surprise. Bois De Clamart needs to bounce back after falling at the first at Leopardstown at the end of December. He makes the switch to hurdles and can give a good account as should Owenacurra Lass. Her latest win was at Tramore in October and she was a decent 5th at Punchestown 34 days ago. With her yard having a good spell she deserves consideration.
Big race prediction: 6: Scheu Time.
