The winner at Dundalk on Friday was Athlumney Warrior. The 2/1 favourite tracked the leaders travelling well to lead from 2 out, he was soon clear staying on strongly in the final furlong easily beating J M's Joy by 2 1/4 lengths. In the other race San Andreas dead heated for 2nd. The 4/1 shot was 4th a furlong out keeping on well without threatening and disputing 2nd with Persian Bliss on the line, Dallas Star won by 1 1/2 lengths.
March begins on Saturday with 8 races at Navan where 2 take centre stage.
3.20: Flyingbolt Novice Chase (Grade 3)
1: Champ Kiely: A smart hurdler who made a good start over fences winning at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day. He was 4th behind Ballyburn in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown when last seen 27 days ago leading early being passed 2 out dropping to 4th entering the straight. He can build on that here just giving him the nod.
3.50: Boylesports Webster Cup Chase ( Grade 2)
1: El Fabiolo: A top-class chaser who has 8 career wins including 4 Grade one’s. He fell at the 2nd on his return in the Dublin Chase at Leopardstown in early February but that can be discounted and as long as his jumping improves then he will be hard to beat and he should pick up another big race success.
