Thurles 4.40
At the head of the market MEMORY OF YOUTH looks very strong, career best runner up last time following a similar run at Naas, best form is at 2 miles 4 furlongs or thereabouts, has placed in a 3 mile P2P , the extended trip is a small niggle, the fact it pulled up here after a jumping error on only previous ourse run is another. Looks solid win value though if 5/2 or more and you may wish to have a win saver accordingly.
Presenting Point was a recent Chase winner in similar conditions, Pulled Up though off a 9lbs penalty over Fences last time, reverts to Hurdles off that last win mark though so a big danger if showing that level of form. Previous hurdles form though is not as convincing and this may be a confidence booster or to make sure no under-lying health issues. At the price I'd see it less confidently than Memory of Youth.
Of the others, Windsor Vixen will be a danger but best form is on better ground and Knock Na Rea who is looking progressive has career best form at around 2 and a half miles and yet to conclusively prove stamina. Queen Of Fame is very interesting and a couple of runner up efforts, both when 100/1 catch the eye. They were both at Punchestown though and the price today will be around a tenth of that, Going and trip are fine but just a question of what the horse can do away from Punchestown, I'm prepared to cond=sider, not as well. Wouldn't be a shock winner but some with better Course credentials interest me.
Chapter Two could outrun them if reproducing some interest P2P form and a pair with some eye catching form at nice double figure Odds are MY NEWBROOK ROSE and BALLYMADUN
