15:30 Corrib Oil Handicap Hurdle (80-95)

Race preview

This is complicated by the fact that Mick Charlie, Mrs Davies, Feargreen Native and Call His Bluff were all out at Killarney on Saturday. Some of these clearly have the ability to play a major role here. Happenings at the County Kerry course a couple of days before might have a bearing as to what will transpire in this near two-and-three-quarter-miler. John Ryan is two-handed with Oldcastle and LE HACHETTE and the latter may be able to defy top-weight. Already a track-and-trip victor the Yeats mare goes off 94, and she's rated 102 in the chasing sphere. She got the job done over the larger obstacles at Tramore last time and she should arrive here well primed for this assignment. Mickey Shea's trainer and rider, Denis Cullen and Conor McNamara, could hardly be going any better at present. It'd be dangerous to dismiss their representative, despite the fact that we haven't seen him since January. A mare in good order like Daisy's Hollow, is another for the shortlist. Hopefully can't be totally ignored either.
