My midweek pick Burning Victory won. The 1/2 favourite made all the running and was soon clear. She was 6 lengths in front when producing a good jump at the last,her lead was reduced on the run-in but she still beat Queens Brook by 1 1/2 lengths.
A seven race card takes place at Thurles on Thursday where the highlight comes at 3.40 when 6 line-up for the Grade 3 Markaye Contracts Ltd Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle. Berkshire Royal has been a good flat winner in his career and impressed when taking a novice hurdle by 10 lengths at Kilbeggan back in May. He has been off since then but with plenty more to come he has an excellent chance on his return. Captain Conby looked good when winning at Punchestown 24 days ago. He travelled well to easily come home by 1 1/4 lengths and with further progress likely he is a threat. The other to respect is The Goffer who last won at Navan in December and finished 4th on this course when last seen 32 days ago. He comes from the yard of Gordon Elliott who is having a particularly decent spell and the horses good form should continue. The other one I like is The Little Yank who picked up his 3rd win of a busy season on this course 2 weeks ago by a good 9 lengths. He kept on well and can't be ruled out here.
Big race prediction: 4: Berkshire Royal.
