I’m digging back into my tracker here for this 0??"60 Handicap & I’ll be honest I’m a little surprised that Tom McCourt’s 4 year old gelding DESERT OF THE SEA is currently trading at 25/1. Now I know what you’re thinking “of course he’s that price he finished 8th last time out”. But this son of FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND was bang there 1 furlong from the lollipop here 17 days ago over 1 mile. This charge now drops back 1 furlong & drops 2lb which should certainly help as well as being drawn in stall 1 (was drawn in 11 last time out). Considering that run last time out here was this lad’s first run on this surface & he was only 4¾ lengths off the winner I’d say there is still plenty of room for improvement but as mentioned previously at this current price I’m more than happy to roll the dice here with an each way punt.

Liz Doyle's 9 year old French Gelding SALMANINO is currently trading at 50/1 even to my uneducated brain that is surly too high for a charge that finished 2nd in this very race last year just just 1½ lengths off one of today's rivals (Verdant Place) and arrives here 4lbs lighter so on that bare form surely you couldn't entirely write this Son of KAPGARDE off & yes since that run it's not been plain sailing hence the odds were getting here now. Jockey Ritchie Deegan takes the reins now & arrives here in somewhat decent form with a 28.57% place strike rate the past month. If we get the same charge we got last year I'd say she's worth a bit of short change each way. Fingers (& toes) crossed.

I’m going to take a punt near the bottom of the weights in the shape of Grain Cromwell’s 6-year-old mare, SIGHTS UNSEEN. Whilst this daughter of HILLSTAR doesn’t look to jump off the page, I feel her profile isn’t awful. A last-time-out run at Tramore gives us a little hope, finishing 5th, 4¾ lengths off the winner (21f) on soft. This charge’s run at Listowel (22f) also gave some glimpses, with a 2nd-place, 5-length finish. This selection drops another 1lb, with jockey Alix Balfe claiming 7lbs, which gives this already well-weighted charge a puncher’s chance to sneak into the minor money, in my humble opinion. The price is certainly right at 22/1, but this is where I’ll lay my hat, as tentative as it is.

We all know this sport is far from easy, and quite often when we think we have the answers, the script gets flipped ??" I guess that’s part of the charm. But anyway, Peter Cluskey’s 8-year-old mare STORMY JENN should appreciate the step up in trip after a decent 3rd place here 27 days ago, keeping on well through the slop. Note how I said “should”, as this daughter of GALE FORCE TEN isn’t one to be entirely trusting of and still has her maiden tag to shed. However, this represents a step down in class, so at least we have that in our favour, along with the testing ground again. Jockey Sean Cleary-Farrell gets another chance here and claims a very useful 7lb off the back of this already well-weighted charge. At current odds of 18/1 I think a little each way poke wouldn't be too bad.

I noted that Tom Mc’Guinness’s 7yr old British gelding PLASTIC PADDY was creeping closer 7 days ago here when he finished 5 3/4 off the winner hitting the frame from off the pace. This son of Buratino is dropped another 2lbs & now gets the services of 7lb claimer Shay Woulace which certainly helps with the weight pull. I’ll be honest perhaps a drop to 7f would be better suited but the price is right. Currently at 22/1 any lower and I wouldn’t be entertaining this. The draw in stall #6 is fine. Now a whopping 33lbs lighter for his last win in the UK this charge has shown glimpses the past few runs. Perhaps a return to the winners enclosure isn’t too far away or perhaps I’m talking a load of drivel. Let’s find out.

I'm happy enough to take a punt here on James Barcoe's 6 year old Gelding ELUSIVE PRINCE who seemed to be running a good enough race 18 days ago @Fairyhouse (Heavy) over this trip making some headway 3 from home before unseating 2 out. So we get another bite at the cherry but this time dropping in class. This Son of ELUSIVE PIMPERNEL has yet to shed his maiden tag but on all his 3 placed runs he's been keeping on off marks of 108-112 (now 92). Jockey Dylan Whelan gets a chance to make amends & sheds a very useful 7lbs.

Denise Foster’s 10-year-old gelding RIDEAU CANAL has been a bit of a pain in the neck to follow, but I’m sure there is a win there to be had, even though we are now 0/19. I feel that if this son of ROBIN DES CHAMPS is going to pick up a victory, it will possibly be over this trip (3 miles) and running through the slop, with all his best form coming off testing conditions. This charge returned from a 101-day break last month, finishing 5th here over 2f (Heavy) and rallying late. If my uneducated brain is right, then finally all this lad’s boxes could be ticked. Staying trip, heavy ground, bottom weight, and Conor Stone-Walsh remaining in the plate all look favourable. Probably last-chance saloon here for me with this charge.

As always I’m looking for a price and at current 20/1 odds, Tony Mullins’ 3-yr-old gelding LAHORE DA KING peaks my interest here in this low-level contest. This son of SANDS OF MALI didn’t disgrace himself 21 days ago here on his All Weather debut finishing 5th (of 14) 5 lengths off the winner. This lad is dropped 2 lbs and finds himself much better drawn in stall #2 (drawn out wide last time). 7 lb claimer Iqbal Khan remains in the plate, and I’m willing to give this lad an each-way shot here at decent odds.

6 places on offer here in this barn burner in the lucky last @Cork so I'm going to go for a bit of a tentative punt with Kevin Thornton's 7 year old Gelding SHANROE ACT. This Son of VENDANGUER returned from a huge 650 layoff 19 days ago @Limerick (24f Heavy) & didn't disgrace himself making some late headway before fading 2 out (22f) so this knock back in trip makes sense.

The price has shortened a little on one of my tracker horses here, Davy Fitzgerald's 7 year old Gelding THE NIGHT AGENT who caught my eye outrunning his 66/1 odds when finishing 5th @Punchestown(22f) 2 weeks ago. This Son of IMPERIAL MONARCH was in touch with the leaders when hampered 3 out then faded 2 out so this drop in trip on his Handicap bow intrigues me. Jockey Sean Flanagan is a top pilot with a 21.74% Win strike rate here @Cork the past year & 37.29% place strike rate here the past 5 years. 6 places on offer here. Dropping in class here for his debut obviously means heavier than id like but I'll follow my tracker (I mean that's what it's there for). Small Each Way Punt.

Certainly not an easy contest to pick apart but Gordan Elliott's 9 year old French Gelding GRINGO D'AUBRELLE has me having a second glance at him. This Son of SADDLER MAKER had a 308 day sabbatical to overcome @Navan that day but I thought he ran ok Considering still plugging away at the end SO I can say why trainer has opted to up him. It's certainly not nailed on but he 'could' get this trip. Talented Claimer Micheal Kenneally (7lb) keeps those lad honest & drags him back into the this contest (is 4lbs out). Jockey has hit a little bit of a purple with 3 wins this past month. 'Should' this charge get the trip now 3lbs lighter I don't think you could 100% write him off.

At Current odds of 18/1 Im intrigued with Pat Murphy's 4 year old Gelding MYTHICAL ROCK who drops back to what could arguably be his preferred trip here & drops down the handicap into this 0-60 contest. This Son of ROCK OF GIBRALTAR is relatively lightly ridden on this surface with 5 runs but does boast a 60% place strike rate. This charge drops another 2lbs. Jockey Luke McAteer remains in the plate & has a 41.18% place strike rate the past month. The draw isn't ideal in stall #11 but other than that I can't see a whole lot wrong here, of course I could be dead wrong but I'm happy to take a chance now this lad is dropping back. Tentative each way.

Willie McCreery's 4 year old Gelding HAPPY HENRY Is of interest to me here despite being down the field in 8th last time out here over this evening's trip (6f) but was still only 2¾ lengths off the winner & you could make the case he was impeded. Prior to this was a ½ length 2nd place @Navan under tonights jockey Megan Telford-Kelly who claims a very useful 7lbs. Drawn much better in stall #8 here today (#14 last time out). The price is right at 18/1 I'm happy to have an each way poke.

I'm going to take a swing here on Paul McKenna's 6 year old Gelding IMPERIAL FIGHTER, this Son of THE GURKHA was out of sight on his return to action here over 1 mile but this did come off a 203 day sabbatical & was drawn wide in the carpark. When I look back at the last time he raced over this distance here @Dundalk watching it back he certainly wasn't disgraced in deeper company finishing just 2¾ lengths off the winner & is now 8lbs lighter for that plus another 3lbs shed thanks to Jockey Jack Kearney's claim so that's a nice pull at the weights in this 0-60. Jockey is in decent nick & has a good record here on the All Weather. To be fair trainers 5 year record isn't too awful here either (27.81% place strike rate). This charge is drawn much better in stall #5 today. It's certainly not water tight but dropping in class & weight with a pipe opener in his system to shake the hoof rust then possibly & at 22/1 odds I'd be annoyed that if I didn't have a little Each Way Punt.

I was happy to see one of my Tracker horses pop up yesterday but then a little disappointed to see Evanna McCutcheon's 7 year old Gelding RAJJNATIN trading around the 9/1 mark last night so I just thought ohwell but now currently trading at 14/1 I'm more than happy to have a swing with this Son of RAJJ who caught my eye last time out outrunning his gargantuan 80/1 odds last time out @Punchestown (Heavy) where to my untrained eye certainly wasn't dead & buried two out from the lollypop. This charge drops in trip & weight (2lbs) & retains the services of last time outs Jockey Phillip Donovan who sheds another 3 useful lbs. Fingers crossed this Meeting goes ahead but the heavy ground seemed to bring a big improvement out of this lad so that would certainly be a big plus. Not much more to say really, Tracker noted "Could perhaps benefit with a slight drop In trip" and we get that at double figures odds.

This old boy has only one attempt at this trip finishing 3rd here @Tramore 10lbs heavier. This lads last run can have a line right through at after returning from a gargantuan 569 day sabbatical so was clearly not match fit. Trainer has a 35.29% place strike rate here the past 5 years with 3lb Claimer Aiden Kelly clocking In a 30% place strike rate.

Quite a trappy little contest if you're hunting for a price but Sarah Connell's bottom weighted 7 year old Mare CATCHABIRD looks a little interesting here especially if you factor in her run @Fairyhouse(Soft/Heavy) last time out where she finished 4th behind Willie Mullins charge LAST KINGDOM who has gone on to win in much deeper waters & is now rated 129, Gavin Cromwell's charge STUNTMAN STEVE finished 2nd in that race also. This Daughter of GETAWAY is still very lightly ridden & whilst this charge returns here after a 215 day sabbatical she's finished 4th from a 397 day break prior & 5th off a 115 day break previously. The step up in trip here for the first time could bring about some improvement as this Mare has made headway numerous times but fades so I can see why the yard have opted to go up got the very first time.

This is a very interesting contest for the level with quite a few of the bigger priced runners intriguing me but I'm going to take a chance with Jayne Hearne's 6 year old Mare SUIL MOLLY SUIL who 'could' relish testing ground again, This Daughter of BULLET TRAIN ran with plenty of merit @Clonmel (19f Heavy) in February outrunning her massive 50/1 odds to power on up the hill to finish 2nd in first time cheekpieces. This charge wasn't awful next time out (again @Clonmel) but it did confuse me to why he was dropped in trip (to 16f) - we then had a run @Cork (25f Good) that didn't look to suit, a run off a 210 day break followed up by a respectable enough run @Wexford (Yielding 20f) finishing 7th. I am keen to see how this charge fares back at a Galloping track & back on Testing ground. Jockey Paddy Cody hasn't done anything wrong with this lad so remains in the plate claiming a useful 7lbs. A Similar run to her Clonmel would give her a puncher's chance for this small outfit.

The Troytown Handicap never gets any easier with so many in with chances but I'm going to take a chance with a trainer that has a great record here with Gordan Elliott's 8 year old Gelding SEARCH FOR GLORY who it could be said Is still doing just that over the tall timber but looking back at his last two runs over fences which were two massive contests: The Ultima @Cheltenham(25f) then followed by the Irish National @Fairyhouse(29f) in which he appeared to be in touch but faded 2 out & 4 out respectively. This Son of FAME AND GLORY has all his best form when running on testing ground aswell as all his winning form coming off a break (around the 200 day mark). Jockey Danny Gilligan steps into the cockpit & won this race 2 years ago. Very competitive but I'll take my chance.

Every fibre of my body is saying "STAY AWAY" from this mud filled minefield but where is the fun in that? With that being said though there isn't an awful lot to go on here with many of these returning from big breaks & finding proven mudlarks isn't any easier SO I've just gone for a very speculative punt either regards to Breeding with Gavin Cromwell's 5 year old Gelding LECALE'S DIAMOND who hasn't shown much in maiden company from 3 runs on Good/Yielding ground but did place in a point to Point contest @Ballinboola back in February on Soft Ground but lets make no qualms about it this is PURLEY based on This lads Sire DIAMOND BOY whos progeny has produced a 27% Win Strike 68% place strike rate the past two year on Testing ground & 41% place strike rate over this trip. Top Trainer has 3 in this contest and has a 24.14% place strike rate with his Handicap debutants & 29.60% place strike rate here @Navan the past 5 years. It's a punt in the dark so approach with caution.

Tom McCourt's 7 year old Gelding INISHMOT PRINCE looks interesting being sent right back into the trenches after just 2 days removed from running here over the minimum trip (5f) where this son of ELZAAM was keeping on so the up in trip makes perfect sense. Such a quick turnaround would have me usually moving away from a selection but this lad has a very impressive 50% place strike rate (from 12 runs) when doing so, So he obviously has no problem with this. The Low draw (Stall #2) is obviously a Bonus. This charge is now a whole 14lbs lighter for his last win. Trusted Pilot James Ryan remains in the plate & has overseen all of this lads best form. I've seen much worse 16/1 shots.
