An excellent Saturday at Down Royal saw both my picks win. In the days Grade 1 Envoi Allen was 3rd early making good headway to dispute the lead from 3 out, the 11/4 shot got to the front soon after staying on well to beat Affordale Fury by 3 1/4 lengths. In the other race Firefox was 2nd after the 8th improving to lead before the last, he stayed on strongly on the run-in comfortably beating Gorgeous Tom by 4 1/4 lengths.
There is a Sunday double header that sees 8 races at both The Curragh and Cork with 2 main events.
The Curragh 2.30: Comer Group International Loughbrown Stakes ( Group 3.)
2: Chally Chute: A decent horse who has made a good start for a new yard winning a listed race at Roscommon in July and then finishing 2nd in the Irish Cesarewitch over course and distance last time. He was unlucky that day but can make amends here picking up a 6th career win.
Cork 3.20: Paddy Power Cork Grand National Handicap Chase.
5: Fortunedefortunata: A fair horse who's last win came at Punchestown in February. His two runs since including being brought down early back at the same course when last seen in May can be discounted and with his yard in good form he can give them another win in this race on his return.
