A decent Wednesday at Fairyhouse saw both my picks finish 2nd, in the 1.23 Sweet Will challenged from 3 out disputing the lead at the next. The 85/40 favourite made a slight mistake soon after keeping on at the same pace on the run-in. He made no impression in the final 100 yards allowing The Tack Room to win by 3/4 of a length. In the other race Spanish Harlem tracked the leader but made a mistake at the 6th. The 1/1 shot made no impression before the last having no extra on the run-in leaving Three Card Brag to comfortably win by 12 lengths.
A big day at Gowran Park on Thursday sees a 7 race card with 2 standing out.
2.15: John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle (Grade 2)
1: Teahupoo: A high-class hurdler who took his form to the next level when picking up a career best win in the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse on his return 53 days ago. He kept on well to beat Klassical Dream by a neck and despite going up in trip he should take all the beating and follow up here.
2.50: Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade A)
5: Gabbys Cross: Picked up his latest win at Galway back in July and looked good on his return after 3 months off when 6th at Leopardstown 30 days ago. With his stable in good form and Rachael Blackmore on board he should go well here off a handy-looking mark and get back to winning ways.
