22/8/22 Ballinrobe

 Both of Sunday’s tips at Naas picked up good results, in the 2.30 Madly Truly won. The 11/10 favourite was 2nd at halfway challenging from 1 1/2 furlongs out. She led narrowly soon after asserting herself inside the final furlong. Despite being strongly pressed close to home she held on to beat Sibyl Charm by a head. In the big Group 3 Benefit was 2nd. The 9/2 shot sat in midfield but was hampered 1 1/2 furlongs out. She improved and kept on well between horses inside the final furlong grabbing 2nd towards the finish, Perfect News won the race by 1/2 a length. 

 Eight races take place at Ballinrobe on Monday evening with two features. 

5.00: Hollymount Nursing Home Handicap Hurdle. 

8: Just Jacob: Has shown improvement recently picking up his career best win at Sligo 18 days ago. He was well on top at the finish and with more to offer he can complete his hat-trick here.

7.00: Boylesports Chase. 

2: Cape Gentleman: A smart chaser who wasn't disgraced when 9th in the Galway Plate on his penultimate start in July. He set himself up for a tilt at this race when winning by 1 1/4 lengths at Killarney just 4 days ago and he looks like the one to beat now back over fences and he should follow up.
