20/11/25 Thurles

 Wednesday's winner at Dundalk was Ballintogher. The 9/4 shot was 2nd at halfway disputing the lead from 2 out, he kept on well getting to the front in the closing stages beating Heaven's Wish by 1/2 a length. The other pick What About Us was 3rd in a race won by Seoul Force who beat Watch Tower by a neck. 

 There are 8 races at Thurles on Thursday with 2 main events. 

11.45am: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase. 

1: Eagle Fang: A useful hurdler who ran well in fine company last season including finishing fifth behind Maxxum in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse on his final outing in April. He has won before after a break so gets the vote here to pick up a 3rd career success on chase debut. 

1.25: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle. 

9: Place De La Nation: A decent horse who has improved in all her hurdles starts culminating with a fifth in the Triumph at the Cheltenham Festival in March. She had every chance before the last but made no impression soon after keeping on at one pace. On previous form the step up in trip here should suit and despite being off 251 days she can achieve her first win.
