25/2/22 Dundalk

 In Thursday's big race Berkshire Royal finished 2nd. The 9/2 shot wasn't fluent from 3 out but made headway to sit 3rd approaching the last. He kept on well on the run-in taking 2nd towards the finish,The Goffer took the race winning by 1 1/4 lengths. 

 Eight races at Dundalk round off the week where the main event is the 5.00 when 11 start the Betvictor Casino Handicap. Mulgrave made it 2 from 2 for a new yard when picking up his career best win in a handicap over this course and distance 72 days ago. Despite a weights rise he should complete his hat-trick here. Tyrconnell is a 4-time course winner including this race last year. He was a creditable 3rd over course and distance 2 weeks ago and can definitely make his presence felt again as he looks to defend his crown. In an open contest the other to consider is Meishar another multiple time course winner who was a good second behind A Case Of You here at the beginning of this month. He goes significantly back up in trip in this race but is in the mix. Of the rest one to keep an eye on is Ransom. He was a respectable 3rd in a handicap at Sandown when last seen back in May. Despite being off 9 months this is his first run for his new trainer so he can’t be dismissed. 

Big race prediction: 9: Mulgrave.
