Thursday's winner at Thurles was Deakin, the 1/1 favourite was 3rd at halfway travelling well to lead from 2 out. He asserted himself soon after running on strongly to easily beat Immutable by 6 1/2 lengths. The other pick Cornahilt Soldier was 5th in a race won by both Ritournelle and Messerschmitt who dead heated.
The weeks first double header takes place on Friday with seven races at Downpatrick and eight at Dundalk with three features.
Downpatrick 3.35: I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle.
3: Kansas City Star: A useful hurdler who was a bit below form when second at Perth on his last outing back in May. Despite being off 142 days he sets a good standard here and goes well fresh so is worth another chance for a yard who have a decent record in this race.
Dundalk 6.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Legacy Stakes.
12: Pipsy: A promising filly who improved on her debut when winning a Maiden at The Curragh 2 weeks ago. She led from 1 1/2 out keeping on well to come home by 3 1/2 lengths. This useful prospect can take the step up in class here in her stride and win again.
Dundalk 7.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes.
14: Rising Sign: Impressed on debut winning at Punchestown 23 days ago leading from a furlong out and quickening away to pass the post an easy 4 1/2 lengths in front. The step up to listed level here isn't a worry and with her yard in good form she can follow up.
