29/1/26 Thurles

 Wednesday's best at Dundalk came from Little Empire who was 3rd. The 2/1 shot was 4th at halfway improving to take 2nd in the final 150 yards, he kept on at one pace dropping to 3rd close to home. Upfront Exquisite Acclaim won beating Brewing by 3/4 of a length. The other pick Cinnamon Coco was 6th in a race won by The Real Screamer who beat Trishuli River by 3 lengths. 

 On Thursday there are 7 races at Thurles where we have 2 features. 

1.25: Leugh Beginners Chase. 

7: John The Diva: A fair chaser who was a good second at Punchestown 18 days ago. He made headway from 5 out soon moving into 3rd, a bad mistake 2 out ended any challenge but he did keep on well on the run-in. He should improve further here and get off the mark in this sphere.

4.25: Horse & Jockey Handicap Hurdle. 

1: King In Love: A decent horse who's last win came at Cork in November. He made progress from 3 out leading soon after, despite being strongly pressed he came home by 1 1/4 lengths. He was a good 3rd at Leopardstown on his last outing 32 days ago and he should go well again here quickly returning to winning ways.
