RACING:THE CORK point-to-point scene threw up last year's Irish Grand National winner Bluesea Cracker and For Bill can emphasise her status as another leading mare from the south in today's Navan feature.
For Bill is one of just four lining up for the €25,000 mares chase and she should be able to confirm her superiority over her old rival Morning Supreme in the race.
The Michael Winters-trained runner won easily at Thurles on her last start, where Morning Supreme fell at the second last when appearing to be well held, and this looks a perfect opportunity to allow For Bill continue her upward profile.
Her jockey Davy Russell will be on Tharawaat in the day’s other four-runner event, the three mile novice chase, but both he and the other Gigginstown runner, Sam Adams, face a big ask at the ratings against Western Charmer.
C’est Ca’s jumping looked to let him down at Limerick last Christmas and any repeat of that in the opening Beginners Chase may allow Paradis de Thaix take advantage.
Radharc Na Mara could hardly have won a poor race at Sedgefield last time any easier and could be progressive enough to land the handicap chase for Jim Dreaper.
Eddie Lynam’s hardy veteran Duff, a course and distance winner two years ago, flies the Irish flag in today’s Listed feature at Lingfield.
