An excellent Sunday saw both my picks win. At Cork Melon made all the running and despite slight mistakes 3 out and at the last he kept on strongly on the run-in easily beating Doctor Duffy by 8 lengths. At Fairyhouse Galopin Des Champs travelled well and had a 3 length lead 2 out. He quickly went clear and despite not being fluent at the last the 2/11 favourite was the easy 18 length winner.
The Easter festivals at both Cork and Fairyhouse conclude on Monday with 3 standout races.
Cork 2.59: Coolmore N.H. Sires Mogul Handicap Chase.
6: Nelly's Money: Arrives in the middle of a good run. A win in a beginners chase at Wexford in March was followed up by a good second at Limerick 22 days ago. She looks the best on form and gets the vote.
Fairyhouse 4.20: Devenish Chase (Grade 2).
5: Blackbow: A high-class chaser who picked up his career best win at Clonmel 27 days ago. He is the best of Willie Mullins 4 runners and should come out on top here.
Fairyhouse 5.00: Boylesports Irish Grand National.
4: Gaillard Du Mesnil: Was last seen finishing behind Ahoy Senor and L’Homme Presse in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham 33 days ago. He has yet to win over fences but is a class horse who has a big shout on this his handicap debut.
