LEOPARDSTOWN GUINEAS TRIAL DAY: All eyes on Aintree but flat fans have plenty to look forward to at Leopardstown. SHAMROCK previews the Group 3 P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes at 3.50pm.
Ahead of the Grand National don’t miss the Guineas trials at Leopardstown this afternoon and also the P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes – an early Derby trial.
Aidan O’Brien, who won it 12 months ago with Nelson has three of the six runners but it’s a race that he hasn’t farmed – in recent seasons at least. Dermot Weld has won two of the last five runnings.
With the Weld stable in such great form I’m keen on the chances of Tankerville who looks the value in the race.
He won in fine style on debut at Gowran Park and still could be ‘anything’ and it looks significant that Weld has chosen this race for him given his good record in the race.
All three of Aidan’s runners were kept busy as two-year-olds and Tankerville may just have the most scope.
SHAMROCK’S BETS:
NAP: Tankerville (3.50 Leopardstown)
