Thursday's winner came at Downpatrick where Gortmillish tracked the leaders sitting 3rd at halfway. He made headway to challenge approaching the last leading soon after, the 9/4 shot kept on well on the run-in beating Charlie Luciano by 1 3/4 lengths. In the big Group 3 at Leopardstown Divine Jewel was 2nd,the 11/2 chance was in midfield making headway from 2 out. She led narrowly but was strongly pressed inside the final furlong being passed near the line by Shamida who won by a head. The other race saw Lan Cinnte come 5th in a contest won by Redstone Well who beat Carracci by a length.
A 3rd double header takes place on Friday with 7 races at both Cork and Kilbeggan and 2 standing out.
Cork 7.35: RBC Brewin Dolphin Hurdle.
9: Winter Fog: A smart hurdler who was 2nd in a novice chase at Kilbeggan 25 days ago. He switches back to hurdles here and this looks like a good opportunity for him to get back on track and prove he is the best hurdler in this field.
Kilbeggan 7.55: AXA Farm Insurance Midlands National Handicap Chase.
14: Stealthy Tom: A horse in excellent recent form who defied a 10lb rise to win the Connacht National at Roscommon when last seen 32 days ago. He challenged from 3 out leading before the last going clear on the run-in beating another in this field Foxy Jacks by 1 1/4 lengths. Despite going up another 10lb he can complete a hat-trick here.
