A good Saturday saw two of my tips win, at Cork Tenebrism tracked the leaders moving into the lead a furlong out. She went clear close to home comfortably beating Wodao by 1 3/4 lengths. At Fairyhouse Risk Belle was 8th at halfway but travelled well to dispute the lead 2 out. She was passed before the last but stayed on well to challenge again on the run-in crossing the line 2nd however after a stewards enquiry she was promoted to 1st. In the other race Verdant Place was 2nd, the 11/4 favourite sat 5th before the last staying on well on the run-in to go 2nd close to home. Western Walk won the contest by 7 lengths.
Sunday is another top-class day with 8 races at both Fairyhouse and Cork where 3 stand out.
Fairyhouse 2.35: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
9: Magical Zoe: A promising horse who was an excellent 2nd behind You Wear It Well in the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen 24 days ago. She was left with a lot to do there and despite going up in trip she is a big player here who can bounce back.
Cork 3.30: Bar One Racing Chase (Grade 3)
2: Bachasson: A smart chaser who didn't need to be at his best to win at Clonmel on his return 19 days ago. He led before 2 out asserting himself before the last and easily coming home by 7 lengths. Going back up in trip here shouldn’t be a problem and he is the one to beat as he looks for his 7th win in a row.
Fairyhouse 4.55: WillowWarm Gold Cup Novice Chase (Grade 1)
7: Mighty Potter: An excellent chaser who has been a course and distance winner in his career. He was a respectable 3rd behind Stage Star in the Turners at Cheltenham 24 days ago and he should return to winning ways here.
