It was a mixed bag of results for my picks on Sunday, at Wexford Cliffton Warrior was 2nd. The 11/10 favourite was 2nd at halfway. He made no impression before the last keeping on at the same pace allowing Arctic Warrior to win by 2 1/2 lengths. At Leopardstown Fakir D'alene was a non runner. The race was won by Discordantly who beat Jerandme by 1 1/2 lengths.
A second day at Leopardstown kicks off a new week with 8 races where the main event comes at 2.35 when 7 start the Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Novice Hurdle. Glengouly is another promising horse from Willie Mullins who achieved his career best win at Gowran Park 39 days ago. He stayed on despite coming under pressure inside the final furlong and should make it 2 in a row here. Pinkerton has 2 wins from 3 runs this season and was a good 3rd at Naas when last seen 23 days ago. He arrives here in decent form and is definitely one to consider. The other who deserves respect is Sam's Choice a useful hurdler who was a creditable 2nd to Glengouly at the end of January. He goes back down in trip here so definitely shouldn’t be ruled out. Of the rest look out for John Cannon who was a respectable 2nd to Peaceful Sunday in a novice hurdle at Fairyhouse 9 days ago. He has a good chance on recent results so can’t be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 1: Glengouly.
