Pretty professional performance by Luska Lad in the opener. Will almost certainly want 2m4f on quicker ground. Really liked the performance of the second – Gigginstown may have found another smart one. Fingers firmly crossed they keep Loughran on board.
Taking Stock should win…if the vibes of this horse are to believed he should sluice up after a good few sessions of schooling.
Also Edward O Grady has the John Oxx’s Alavain spelling?
For the triumph Hurdle……there seems to be some cash down already if reports are led to believed.
No better address if gossip is led to believed
In Compliance back at Thurles tomorrow after two years off the track. Has moved to Dessie Hughes from Mike O’Brien.
The beginners chase that follows looks a hot contest. Venalmar makes his long awaited return with Zaarito, Whatuthink, Essex, Bob Lingo and Give It Time also declared.
Al Eile, Rite Of Passage, Clopf and Donnas Palm are all down to run in the November Handicap on the level at Leopardstown tomorrow too.

Heard that one alright. He has some very decent flat form and EOG is supposedly quite bullish about him. Coming from Currabeg, he won’t have been overtrained and there have been some good hurdlers come out of Oxx’s over the last few years – Ebaziyan, Ebadiyan, Mourad.
Willie seemed very upbeat about that half brother to Zaynar he’s picked up from France.
Hopefully we’ll have won or two good juvenilles this season. Irish horses have been out with the washing in the Triumph Hurdle since the year Scolardy won it really. Think that was the same year that Balapour came fourth. 2002 maybe?
In Compliance still retains plenty of ability looking at that run. Interesting to see how Dessie will campaign him from now on. Presumably he’ll be aiming to keep Siegemaster, Rare Bob and In Compliance apart.
In Compliance ran a cracker …..but Bob Lingo needs a different rider, Russel is incapable of Settling a hard puller like him. Paul Caberry/Paul Townend or Ruby would do the job much better as they usually ride that style. He could be a very good chaser on a decent surface but no shame in losing today.
Like the winner of that race, very impressive and could go well over longer distances.
Nothing really caught my eye as such today other than In Compliance….Zarrito is a dog and gave young guy a terrible fall…Venelmar was given a very easy time and i would imagine there is alot more to come.
I see Nicanor has new owners….must have got sick of Meade’s incapability to keep his best horses sound.
Sharkey has a better horse than Nicanor with Paul Nolan now – Noble Prince. I think he could go right to the top. Interesting to see if they run him at Navan on Sunday.
I wouldn’t be getting giddy about the form of that beginners chase either. Zaarito is too small for fences. Bob Lingo, I don’t know what to make of. Whatuthink will win chases but I couldn’t have him for an Arkle or a Sun Alliance. He might win the Drinmore if Pandorama and Sizing Europe go elsewhere and if Cousin Vinny isn’t ready in time, but that’s about as good as it will get for him I’d say. Venalmar was a huge disappointment IMO. He was obviously in need of the run but I thought he’d put up a better show than that. I’d give him another chance before writing him off completely though.
Rite Of Passage was fierce impressive at Leopardstown. Could be a Ballymore horse when he goes over timber.
There are loads of serious horses coming through……
That Taking Stock is a dog jumper…would have expected much better coming from Kiely’s
Wallace
You seem to have it all worked out, Zaarito is a dog, Russell can’t settle a horse, and Meade can’t keep his horses sound.
Very impressed with the debut of Magnanimity. Bit surprised that he is now running in a bumper but you have to think one of today’s debutants would need to be very good to run him close unless of course his jockey messes up. He raced prominently first time so if there is no pace there is absolutely no excuse for not kicking on.
Puzzling that he was sent back over hurdles indeed Stilvi. Luska Lad had hardly disgraced the form yesterday. Meade’s horse looked a nice prospect though.
Good card at Navan tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing Noble Prince again. Should be straightforward for both Catch Me and Big Zeb provided they jump round. Osana also an interesting chasing recruit for his new yard. Quinola Des Obesux and Morning Supreme both going over hurdles down at Limerick.

I would be very surprised if the Meade horse turns out to be anywhere near the level of Magnanimity. Virtually all the Meade bumper horses are ridden the same way and a slowly run race will nearly always suit. I know that and so should everyone associated with the Gigginstown horse but yet again they showed themselves to be tactically inept.
Jumping left a lot to be desired. Don’t think River Liane will make a better chaser than hurdler. He lacks the necessary size and scope.
Another wonderful piece of placement by Gigginstown Early Doors. I would be pretty certain he wants 2m4f on decent ground so they run him on heavy ground over 2m. Concedes 15 lengths to the leader at the start for no reason whatsoever and effectively is given a nice school round and nobody cares after all he was the 16/1 outsider and ‘expected’ to finish last.
No doubt they will be falling over themselves with the success of Ballymak despite running him the wrong way round.
Some good performance this week
Loosen My Load looks to be a very likable horse who will make a superb chaser.
Some Present needs a really quick 2miles so he will be at his best at the major festivals when the pace will defo be strong
Dunguib got more expierence
Quel Esprit jumps like a Stag and won well
Biscuit Club has franked Dunguib in the bumper….
and finally
Tranquil Sea bolted in today for a good O Grady gamble….the old folk will have loved that. This horse could be a good ryanair possible. Hoepfully his form will carry on
