Cork's Easter Festival kicks off on Saturday and we have two win selections and a place lay for the opening day
Nothing managed to lay a glove on Inxile (15:35) in a listed event at Naas a week ago, and with this easy 6f likely to suit just as well as that stiff 5f, he should have little bother following up that impressive win. Smart on his day, Inxile is ideally drawn to bag the favoured rail,and should blitz these inferior rivals from the front in similar fashion to at Naas.
The handicap at 16:05 is another tough puzzle to solve so it could pay to look for a bit of value and Diamond Shower fits the bill, having gone well fresh in the past and dropped to a workable mark. His front-running style is also a plus around this sharp track, and Diamond Shower would take plenty of beating if able to reproduce the form of his close second to Surrey Spinner here a couple of seasons ago.
Andalucia Lady is likely to be amongst the favourites for the apprentice handicap at 17:05 after winning at Naas last time, but she's not one to trust implicitly and is worth taking on in the place market. An habitual slow starter who has refused to race, Andalucia Lady has been raised 6 lb for that success and there is every chance she gets left behind from a poor draw.
Recommendations
Back Inxile @ [2.3] in the 15:35
Back Diamond Shower @ [18.0] in the 16:05
Place lay Andalucia Lady @ [2.5] in the 17:05
With no racing in the UK on Good Friday, there's no better time to check out Timeform's US Tips, which are still showing a healthy level-stakes profit*.......
The Irish Grand National is the feature race at Fairyhouse on Easter monday and Stuart Jones takes you through the most interesting runners.........
Tomorrow is Good Friday, which means no racing, so no doubt several esteemed members of Timeform's editorial team will be at a complete loss with what to do with themselves. Having some disposable income may spark their imaginations somewhat, so let's try and knock it out of the park with small stakes at Ludlow today....
