Despite being sent off a well backed second favourite,
Peace News ran a lifeless race at Leopardstown.
He
never seemed to be travelling comfortably – and was the first horse
beaten.
I
don’t expect to be tipping him again…
On
the other hand, the days only Mention, Prairie Town, ran an absolute cracker,
getting within a length of pulling off a shock.
The early 25/1 had gone by the off time – but he was still sent off a relatively unfancied, 10/1 chance.

Ash
Park finished third in the same race and definitely looks like a horse in need
of a break…
The
other eye catcher on the day was Raktiman – and like Prairie Town, he went very
close to winning, just coming off second best to the revitalised Special
Catch…
A
couple of bar rattlers at Sedgefield then !
Back
over at Leopardstown, it was a case of the survival of the best jumper in the
Irish Arkle – and Some Plan won that contest.
He
was the only one of the 4 runners, to finish the race…
Finally, Petit Mouchoir just hung on to win the Irish
Champion hurdle.
He
was all out to hold on from the outsider, Footpad - but I think he was value for
greater than the winning margin, as Nichols Canyon got him racing much sooner
than ideal…
He
certainly looks like a horse capable of at least placing, in a Champion
hurdle…
TVB.
