There were results at both ends of the scale for my picks on Friday. At Limerick Gin On Lime was 2nd,the 8/13 favourite led early and was 5 lengths clear at halfway. She had a reduced lead 3 out and faced a strong challenge when bumped soon after. She was passed on the run-in having no extra towards the finish allowing Say Goodbye to win by 1/2 a length. In the 6.50 at Fairyhouse HMS Endeavour was 6th. The 9/2 shot was towards the rear throughout and had no extra from 2 out making no impression. Upfront Prisoner's Dilemma won by 1/2 a length.
The weekend begins with 8 races at both Punchestown and Navan with two highlights.
Punchestown 1.20: Ladbrokes We Play Together Handicap Chase.
7: Kildorrery: A course and distance winner in his career with his latest victory coming in a chase at Cork in April. He finished 7th at Ballinrobe 25 days ago after being left poorly placed but despite that he looks like the way to go here.
Navan 4.00: Royal County Handicap.
2: Yashin: A promising horse who achieved his career best win in a handicap at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago,he best Chaos Control by a comfortable 3 1/4 lengths and a weight rise here shouldn’t hamper him. He should be well up there again and gets the vote.
