Preview

A decent looking confined race with KILCREA who was a fair third to Why Surrender last week given very marginal preference if he comes out of that race fresh. Indian Gale has been running solid races in maidens also and his last run would see him involved here. Paddycaddy and Rua Nua look next best.

DE CHISSLER ran well in a decent maiden last time and may have the measure of the equally competitive Icthec who had been third twice in decent maidens also. Keltic Rhythm was second although well beaten last time and Indiana Bay was a promising third last time at Tallow. Harvest Morn and Lissaleen Gladiator could progress from their debuts.

Last years winner OSCAR DELTA ran well at Dungarvan and may edge out this contest although it would be brave to bet against course specialist Whyso Mayo who has defied logic before and has been winning on this course since 2002 which is before many of these were born. On his day he still deserves respect and Mayo Calling can also play a part.

Preview

LENAMORE BOY is consistent and ran well into second at Carrigtwohil last tmie so this could be his chance to score. Missing The Babe has more appealing options this weekend and therefore Coolykeeran Castle who was a fair second to Mountain Lough must be considered next best. An Tadh Dearg is also expected to be close up too.

FROMTHETOP ran well in a decent winners race last time and this could be an opportunity for him to add to his maiden win. Ardkilly Witness won by a wide margin last time at Knockanard and that deserves respect while Cork Twenty Ten was close up behind Moutain Lough last time and that is sold form also.
