The flat season didn't get off to a good start with the best performance at The Curragh coming from Kerkiyra who was 3rd. The 11/1 shot was in midfield finding herself short of room from 2 out. She went 4th a furlong from the finish moving into 3rd in the closing stages keeping on without threatening the winner Insinuendo who beat Redressed by 1 1/2 lengths. In the Irish Lincolnshire Carrytheone finished 11th, the 15/2 chance was always at the rear making no impression from a furlong out. Upfront Lattam beat Saltonstall by a short head.
A Sunday double header sees 7 races at Limerick and 8 at Naas with 3 main events.
Limerick 3.25: Way To Paris At Coolagown Stud Hugh Mcmahon Memorial Novice Chase (Grade 3)
1: Thedevilscoachman: A decent winner over hurdles who got back on track when taking a Grade 3 at Naas 56 days ago, he crossed the line 2nd but was subsequently promoted. Despite Conceding weight to the rest of the field he has strong claims in what is a good-looking contest.
Naas 3.45: Irish Racing Writers Carmel Kirwan And Loretta O'Hanlon Memorial Madrid Handicap.
3: Paddington: A promising horse who left his debut well behind when winning a maiden at The Curragh on his last outing in October. He went clear 2 out staying on in the final furlong to impressively come home by 5 lengths. With more to come this season he can follow up here on handicap debut.
Naas 4.20: Plusvital Devoy Stakes.
1: Self Belief: Doubled his career tally when taking a listed race at Leopardstown back in October. He beat Kerkiyra by a head and despite being off 162 days further improvement is likely and he can follow up here.
