There's quality Flat action at the Curragh this afternoon.
"Rodriquez and Summersinerrill set the standard of those with hurdlng experience, but neither appear to be any better than modest, and this race looks Morning Ireland's to lose on his hurdling bow"
Two jumpers at Clonmel and one on the Flat at the Curragh make up Sunday's selections.
Morning Ireland's (14.55) below-par effort at Roscommon last time can easily be excused given the extremely testing conditions and the form of his previous bumper runs make him the one to beat in what appears to be a weak maiden hurdle. He showed fairly useful form when in the frame both starts for Jim Bolger and that form is far superior to anything achieved by these rivals. Rodriquez and Summersinerrill set the standard of those with hurdlng experience, but neither appear to be any better than modest, and this race looks Morning Ireland's to lose on his hurdling bow.
Rebel Fitz (15.25) didn't have things go his way when runner-up to Earls Quarter in a novice at Galway last time and is expected to resume his progression in what looks a weaker contest. The presence of Bleakfield Lady and Ontheground should ensure that this a run at a proper gallop, something that will help bring out the best in Rebel Fitz, and he can put his hurdling experience to good use to get the better of Mississippi River.
Harrison's Cave (17.25) may still be a maiden after nine starts, but he remains unexposed at middle-distances and has shaped much better than the result suggests in handicaps on his last two starts, caught on heels turning in before finishing strongly when third to Whatever It Takes at Roscommon on the latest occasion. Few of the newcomers stand out on breeding, and Harrison's Cave can put his experience to good use in getting the better of Ansaab.
Recommendations
Back Morning Ireland in the 14.55 at Clonmel
Back Rebel Fitz in the 15.25 at Clonmel
Back Harrison's Cave in the 17.25 at the Curragh
Three bets as ever in this popular column and no prizes for guessing the format. Two backs and one lay based on price movements it is then....
This handicap over an extended mile looks one of the most interesting races on a good card at Epsom......
Two backs and a lay are the the way the Follow The Money boys roll. Here are their selections on this busy Saturday afternoon....
