Hopefully we have a good line up of runners for the weekend which kicks off in Leapardstown on Saturday. Paco Jack runs in the Pertempts Handicap Hurdle Qualifier at 2.40. This is our second run with this horse and although his run the last day was far from promising, we are very optimistic that he will improve dramatically on his last performance.
Sir Loujay runs in the Bumper at 3.40 also in Leopardstown. We like this horse very much and are looking forward to his run, although the ground may not be to his liking - one to watch on better ground.
Vardas Partner runs in Leopardstown on Sunday at 1pm. This will be his first run over hurdles; we like this horse and hope he puts in a big run for all concerned. Right of passage would be the worry in this race having plenty of Hurdle experience.
Goidelic also runs in Leopardstown on Sunday in the Handicap Hurdle at 3.50pm. This looks like a competitive Hurdle, and with the ground coming up as heavy I think weight will play a big part in the winning of this race. Our horse will travel on the more demanding ground conditions however as this is his first time to travel over a distance of 2 miles 6 furlongs we are not sure if he will see out this trip. I think Colbert Station and Monaco Springs will feature heavily in the closing stages. Hopefully however with Denis O Regan in the saddle for us in Leopardstown on Sunday we will have continued good fortune
