The tip for Saturday Master McShee was 2nd. The 13/8 favourite tracked the leaders and sat 3rd 3 out. He went 2nd at the last staying on well on the run-in but he couldn't reach the winner Sizing Pottsie who won by 3/4 of a length.
It's another double header on Sunday with 8 races at Limerick and 7 at Naas. The standout contest of the day is the 4.40 at Naas when 12 line-up for the Baroneracing.com Leinster National Handicap Chase. Champagne Platinum last won at Navan in January and was a very good second behind Death Duty at Punchestown when last seen a month ago, he is a player here and should go one better. Franco De Port is a smart chaser who was an excellent 2nd on his handicap chase debut at Gowran Park 45 days ago. That performance in the Goffs Thyestes makes him the main threat. Ronald Pump was a below form fifth in the Boyne Hurdle at Navan just 19 days ago but he can't be ruled out on this his handicap chase debut. Alfa Mix was a respectable 7th at Punchestown at the beginning of February, having cheekpieces back on here should see him challenge. The other to look at in this open race is Scoir Mear. He took this contest last year and was a good 5th at Fairyhouse just over 2 weeks ago. This veteran is respected in his follow-up bid.
Big race prediction: 4: Champagne Platinum.
