24th July 2008  -  Limerick Thursday

Red Vinto (Patrick Mullins) goes for the QR handicap hurdle over 2m 6f. He will handle the ground and likes this track but the trip may be a shade too short. We expect him to be in the shake-up however. Ballymorris Lady (Patrick) runs in the bumper over 2m 4f. She is stoutly bred and the extra half mile here will bring her into the picture. She is well capable of winning a bumper.

23rd July 2008  -  Naas Wednesday

Chicawayo (Davy Condon) runs in the 2m 3f mares maiden hurdle. We hope she can improve a bit from her last run. She will go on the ground but might prefer a longer trip.

21st July 2008  -  Ballinrobe Monday

Shanghai Star (Paul Townend) runs in the 1m 1f maiden. He is in good order but the drop back in trip here may not be ideal. Clear Gold (Ruby) makes a quick reappearance in the handicap chase over 2m 1f. He seems well after his race last week but it is not ideal to be running again so soon. Unfortunately there are not many suitable races for him at this time of year. Otay Kawn (Patrick Mullins) goes for the bumper. He ran very well when third on his debut on soft ground so we are taking a chance running him on fast ground here. He has been working well and this track will suit. 

18th July 2008  -  Kilbeggan Friday

The Boxer Coffey (Ruby) runs in the 2m 6f maiden hurdle. He was second over 2 miles at Limerick last time but the step up in trip here will hopefully enable him to go one better today.

17th July 2008  -  Killarney Thursday

Cler (Ruby) runs in the handicap hurdle over 2m 1f. He won impressively at Bellewstown last time and could go in again here depite going up 9lbs for that win. The trip and ground will suit him. Mountain Snow (Paul Townend) goes for the 2m 1f handicap. He needs this trip and the ground should be ideal. He probably needed the run last time and should run very well today.

16th July 2008  -  Killarney Wednesday

The Patriarch Game (Ruby) goes for the 2m 4f beginners chase. He disappointed last time but if he can reproduce his run at Tramore the previous day he will go close. The ground, trip and track will all suit. Sir Bill Nich (Paul Townend) makes his debut in the 1m 6f maiden. He is a very promising horse and should win on the flat before a career over hurdles. He looks one to follow over the coming months.

15th July 2008  -  Killarney Tuesday

Clear Gold (Ruby) runs in the 2m 1f handicap chase. He beefitted from a great ride to just win at Ballinrobe last time. He has gone up 8lbs for that and we are just hoping that he has improved enough since to cope with that rise. Uncle Junior (Ruby) makes his jumping debut in the novice chase over 2m 6f. He jumps well at home and with a clear round should be good enough to collect here.

14th July 2008  -  Killarney Monday

We run two in the 2m 1f conditions chase. Davenport Democrat doesn't appear to be running up to his mark and really needs a longer trip. The conditions suit him but the ground may not. Irish Invader is progressing nicely but has enough to do at these weights. The ground may not be in his favour either but we feel he needs this run before Galway. Sir Vincent (Patrick Mullins) runs in the bumper. He only got up close home at Sligo last time, so hopefully he has improved since. We are hoping that with a bit of luck he won't be too far away today.

14th July 2008  -  Downpatrick Monday

Nevaeh Sky (Paul Townend) makes her debut in the 1m 3f maiden. She is nicely bred and will hopefully run well but this trip could be too far for her. Imperial Hills (Paul Townend) goes for the 1m 3f handicap. We are going here for the dry ground and the trip and track will will also suit. He should run a big race.

12th July 2008  -  Curragh Saturday

Ballyhaunis (Pat Smullen) runs in the 1m 2f maiden. He was very unlucky when second on his debut here. He is working well at home and will like the ground and trip today. He should definitely be involved at the business end.

11th July 2008  -  Cork Friday

Meath All Star (Patrick Mullins) makes his debut in the bumper. He is a nice horse that we like a lot and we are hoping for a very good run.

11th July 2008  -  Wexford Friday

Shanghai Star (Paul Townsend) runs in the 1m 5f maiden. He ran very well first time out but has been out with an injury since. If he has improved from that run, and we think he has, he should be involved at the business end here.

9th July 2008  -  Naas Wednesday

Truxton King (Paul Townend) makes his debut in the 1m 2f maiden. He has a nice pedigree for both the flat and jumps and is a horse we are looking forward to over the coming months. The ground here won't be a problem and hopefully he will run well. 

8th July 2008  -  Roscommon Tuesday

Keaveney (Ruby) makes a belated return to the racecourse in the 3 mile conditions hurdle. If he can return to his best form after such a long lay-off he will have a chance but the ground might be a bit too soft for him.

6th July 2008  -  Limerick Sunday

The Boxer Roche (Ruby) goes for the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He looked to have the race at his mercy when falling last time and he picked up an injury in the process. He has missed some work as a result but if back to full fitness should be up to winning this.

5th July 2008  -  Bellewstown Saturday

Luca Brasi (Patrick Mullins) runs in the winners bumper. She seems to have improved since her win at Kilbeggan and we think she will like this track. She looks sure to take all the beating.

4th July 2008  -  Bellewstown Friday

We have two good chances tonight. Cler (Ruby) runs in the maiden hurdle. He has had two nice runs on the flat recently and will like the ground here. We expect him to go very close. Tango Foxtrot (Patrick Mullins) goes for the QR race over 1m4f. He wasn't beaten far at the Curragh last Sunday and is nicely in at the weights today. He is now back to a trip that will suit better and with a bit of luck should be good enough to win here.

3rd July 2008  -  Bellewstown Thursday

Derrymore Dawn (Ruby) runs in the 3 mile handicap hurdle. We wouldn't normally run a 4yo over 3 miles but this fellow give every indication that he really needs this trip. Watchurhouse (Patrick Mullins) goes for the first division of the bumper. He finished second on his debut in heavy ground and if he handles this much quicker ground he must have a great chance. Slave Hill (Patrick Mullins) makes her debut in the second division. She has a nice pedigree and will like the ground. Hopefully she will run well and, if she doesn't collect here, she should be up to winning a bumper over the coming weeks.
