An excellent Friday at Dundalk saw both my picks win,in the 6.15 Bowerman was 5th four out making headway from 2 out. The 15/8 favourite hit the front soon after keeping on well inside the final furlong beating Cristal Clere by 1 3/4 lengths. The later race saw San Andreas lead after three furlongs going 2 lengths clear a furlong out. He drew further clear in the final 150 yards coming home by 5 1/2 lengths.
The weekend kicks off with 7 races at Navan (if it passes a 7.30am inspection.) and 8 at Gowran Park with 3 standing out.
Navan 3.25: Webster Cup Chase (Grade 2)
1: Any Second Now: A top-class chaser who has been a course winner in his career. He was a good 4th behind Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown when last seen 35 days ago and he looks like the one to beat here in what looks like a decent warm-up before another go at the Grand National.
Gowran Park 3.45: Holden Plant Rentals Shamrock Handicap Chase (Grade B)
2: Cayd Boy: Was a little disappointing when a below form 5th at Fairyhouse 56 days ago. He has both a tongue strap and cheekpieces on for the 1st time here so is well worth another chance. He is more than capable of bouncing back and picking up his 4th career win.
Navan 4.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Handicap Chase Final (Grade B)
3: Slip Of The Tongue: A useful hurdles winner who upped his game in this sphere when 3rd at Gowran Park 3 weeks ago. With more to offer on this his handicap chase debut he just gets the nod.
