Saturday was a decent day for both my picks at Thurles, in the 2.52 Ciel De Neige was 2nd. The 4/11 favourite led but faced a challenge 3 out. However she kept on well on the run-in only being passed on the line by French Dynamite who won by a nose. The 4.37 saw Crosshill finish 3rd. The 11/4 chance pressed the leaders from 4 out but she was soon outpaced and a tired jump at the last saw her weaken. The race was won by Gentlemansgame who beat Unexpected Depth by 8 1/2 lengths.
Seven races take place at Downpatrick on Sunday with 2 more big contests with the following being my picks.
2.10: Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle
4: Vinnie Is Busy: Won a bumper at Limerick on debut in January 2020 with a 4th and a 5th in the same year. Was off 2 years before finishing an encouraging 4th at Fairyhouse last month. Should build on that here and get off the mark.
3.45: Randox Ulster National Handicap Chase
9: Joshua Webb: Reacted well to wearing cheekpieces for the 1st time when a creditable 2nd in a Novice Chase at Gowran Park a week ago. He goes significantly up in trip to make his handicap chase debut and should be taken seriously.
