18/4/23 Gowran Park & Tipperary

 A poor day at Tramore saw Jump The Shark finish 4th, the 7/2 chance led narrowly before the 4th but was passed 2 out. He dropped to 3rd at the last where a slight mistake saw him weaken and move down to 4th, Pat Coyne won the race by 1 1/2 lengths. It was worse in the 6.15 where Hardwired came 7th, the 15/2 shot was 3rd after the 12th but lost a place having no extra before 2 out. Upfront Another Million beat Read To Return by 1 1/4 lengths. 

 An early week double header takes place on Tuesday with 7 races at both Gowran Park and Tipperary where 3 stand out.

Gowran Park 4.03: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race. 

2: Panic Alarm: A promising horse who picked up two wins from four runs last year his latest was at Naas in October. He was a good third on handicap debut at the same course 3 weeks ago and with more to come he should take some stopping here.

Tipperary 4.25: TipperaryRaces.ie Rated Novice Chase. 

5: Solness: A good chaser who achieved his 2nd career win at Leopardstown 43 days ago. He travelled well all the way asserting himself on the run-in and coming home by a comfortable 4 3/4 lengths. He just has the edge on form and with improvement likely he can follow up here. 

Gowran Park 5.13: SP Or Better Guaranteed With Tote Handicap. 

6: Mellow Magic: A decent horse who was a respectable 8th when last seen at Goodwood back in July. Despite being off 8 months and going significantly down in trip she will have been well prepared for this her first run for a new yard and is the pick.
