A very poor Friday at Ballinrobe saw Tequila Talkin fail to finish being pulled up before the last while in the other race Mica Malpic was a non-runner.
The Irish Champions Festival begins on Saturday with 9 races at Leopardstown where 2 group one’s take centre stage.
4.25: Coolmore America Justify Matron Stakes (Group 1.)
2: Fallen Angel: Last years Irish 1000 Guineas winner who looked back to her best when taking the Prix Rothschild at Deauville 41 days ago, she ran well beating the reopposing January by a head. She was runner-up in this race 12 months ago and can go one better here.
5.30: Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1.)
5: Delacroix: A decent horse who was 2 from 2 over course and distance before disappointing in the Derby at Epsom. He bounced back taking the Eclipse at Sandown beating Ombudsman by a neck and was then 2nd to that same rival in the Juddmonte at York 3 weeks ago. If recovered well then he is the one to beat here in a highly competitive race.
