4.20 Punchestown Faugheen 8/11 Bet365 BOG

There are 2 cases to be made: one for backing Faugheen and a case for giving up racing altogether which is what you should do if you oppose this one. Not alone is it a certainty barring an act of god and it has been completely unextended in every race including at Cheltenham. Dropping down in trip will be no trouble whatsoever as he will win over any trip. Enough said and one for the heavy hitters.

10 Points win Faugheen 8/11 Bet365 BOG

4.55 Naas War Envoy 8/15 Paddy Power BOG

War Envoy who is entered in all the big races will win this for O'Brien. His horses are getting there but a win and a second from his two 2yos out so far is good. After winning today this one will step up to pattern company before going to Ascot. If he doesn't O'Brien is in serious trouble with the rest of his horses.

4.05 Gowran Sereza 7/4 Bet365 BOG

Sereza ran finished well behind stable companion Edelmira at Tipperary last week. Unfancied that day, she is sure to come on for that run. It will be very disappointing if she cannot open her account against this moderate opposition.

10 Points win Sereza 7/4 Bet365 BOG

3.35 Gowran Exotic 7/2 boylesports BOG

Alarm bells ring when a stable is flying and a fancied horse is badly beaten. That is why I'm Yours is passed over in favour of Exotic. Exotic won well at Galway in August and even though the stable has been quiet, with the Guineas meeting less than a week away, I do not expect that to be the case for much longer.

10 Points win Exotic 7/2 Boylesports BOG 5.05 Gowran Falkirk 2/1 Stan James BOG

Falkirk was given a very quiet introduction last week at Tipperary running on without ever being put into the race. This race looks weaker still and I would expect him to win and give O' Brien a confidence booster ahead of the Guineas meeting coming up.

10 Points win Falkirk 2/1 Stan James BOG

Re: Flat Racing > Friday April 25th 3.45 Sandown Montiridge 3/1 Stan James BOG Hannon has farmed this race winning 7/10 and his Montiridge can make it 8/11. Won 2 listed races last year and wound up the season by finishing 2nd to Soft Falling Rain in a Newmarket Group 2. Was also beaten a head by Gale Force Ten in the Jersey at Ascot. Looks very solid here. 10 Points win Montiridge 3/1 Stan James BOG 3.15 Sandown Western Hymn 8/13 Stan James BOG Westen Hymn was ridden like a very good horse at Newbury lto sitting at the back and quickening up well before winning eased down.

2.10 Sandown Telescope 13/8 SkyBet BOG

Although possibly a little on the sharp side Telescope can win this for Stoute, a race in which he has an outstanding record. Telescope was quite raw last year having been beaten at Haydock but went on to run out a ready winner of the Great Voltigeur at York. Make no mistake, this is a group 1 horse running in a group 3 and should finally start fulfilling his promise starting here.

2.10 Perth Another Mattie 9/4 Paddy Power BOG

Another Mattie was beaten 0.75l in a maiden hurdle at this fixture last year and has run consistently well this season in handicaps without winning. He has improved since last year and the trip and ground should suit. On paper I feel he should start favourite but in any event, I think he will win!

3.15 Fairyhouse Get Me Out Of Here 6/4 Stan James BOG

Get Me Out Of Here was second in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and can go one better here on the basis that both Thousand Stars and Mourad have been very disappointing this year and the other don't look good enough. The selection likes both the ground and trip and ought to win.

10 Points win Get Me Out Of Here 6/4 Stan James BOG

5.00 Fairyhouse Shutthefrontdoor 11/1 Stan James BOG

A key race for this is the 4m Cheltenham National Hunt Chase but with Shutthefrontdoor only 6th in that event, we cannot be as confident. Still, as it was his first run since undergoing a wind operation, there is every chance he will improve.

5 Points e/w Shutthefrontdoor 11/1 Stan James BOG

4.40 Fairyhouse Rebel Fitz 2/1 Bet365 BOG

Rebel Fitz beat vTarla comfortably over hurdles at Cork lto on ground he didn't like in preparation for this. The ground is now in his favour and in my opinion against his rivals. Ballycasey had a hard race at Cheltenham and is better on slower ground while the same can be said of Mozoltov and Bright New Dawn.

10 Points win Rebel Fitz 2/1 Bet365 BOG

2.40 Fairyhouse Emperor Of Exmoor 9/2 Paddy Power BOG

Emperor of Exmoor was beaten a nose at Navan lto and before that should have won at Leopardstown when the jockey lost the race due to bad judgement. Hughes does very well here and as this race is no better than the ones he has run in lately he should win today. Rock The World has been disappointing and Easter Hunt may prove the danger.
