1:42 Thurles Tips

Mount Frisco is dropped a couple of pounds after two lacklustre performances, but Michael Kenneally is back on board. Mount Frisco was placed the last two times he rode the horse, and he will also appreciate the drop back in distance.

I'm not saying Toon Town will win ??' this is ultra-competitive and there are loads of inconsistent form lines. BUT, and it's a big but, the horse is in relatively good nick.

Tsavo Park has only had seven career starts, all over hurdles, but looks interesting here on chase debut. He has been improving recently over hurdles, having been third here at Thurles in October and then also placed in big fields at Naas in December and Down Royal last month. He looks on a fair mark for his chase debut and seems like a good each-way bet with five places on offer.

At Thurles she has proven her capabilities, highlighted earlier in her career by a remarkable seven-and-a-half-length triumph in a bumper here in December 2023. In her most recent performance at Thurles last month, she placed sixth in a Grade 2 Mares Novice Chase. However, considering her return to handicap races after more demanding competitions, I think she presents a solid each-way opportunity at 16/1 with five places on offer.
