Michael - Ballinrobe 5.55 Handicap Chase - 2 miles 7 furlongs - 15 Run - Yielding to Soft - rain

 

My Friend The Wind will be very tough to beat on Hurdles form but over these Fences and pulled up and unseated on last 2 Chase runs is not bomb-proof but win saver material if you wish. The same sentiments apply to Glenmalure Lodge whose hurdle form is better than Chase form and therefore no investment on this one today. The Handicapper may now have the measure of Rudy Catrail.

 

Courting Vickie looks a solid each way proposition in this field and really has no excuses on recent form with JJ Slevin booked, a pair at big odds look very appealing each way and they are Father Jed a Hurdle winner at the track and lurking on a very nice mark and especially Crimson Chief who won off marks of 85 and 91 over Hurdles and Fences this time in 2022 and who should be fit now and off a very appealing mark of 88.

 

Tips (1) Courting Vickie / (2) Crimson Chief / (3s) Father Jed (w/s on My Friend The Wind if you wish)
