Ebor and Killarney Day 2

The Ebor

John Mulholland will refund your losing win single stake if your horse finishes second

Can Overturn win 3 big races in a row. After winning the Galway Hurdle pulling a cart, the punters will be keen to back him and I'm sure he'll go favourite over Martyr today. I can't really see him out of the top 4 if the races haven't taken their toll and these big wins happening in a sequence can happen, just remember Sergeant Cecil.


The one for me at a nice price is Godolpin's Darley Sun. He was with Mark Johnston last season and ran away Cesarewitch. He didn't handle the Gold Cup last time out and was an unlucky enough loser in his first outing. Godolpin have now hit top form and judging by yesterday's winner Rewilding, horses that took a break are coming back strong. At 16/1 he is a great bet especially if you consider, the Lonsdale cup was the logical race choice but they have come here for the better handicap race

In the Lonsdale Cup, if I fancy Darley Sun, I have to keep with Akmal, whose from ties in strongly with Darley Sun. He won the Henry Stakes at Sandown and again didn't handle the Gold Cup trip. This will suit and ground conditions are perfect. Nothing else in the race stands out as anythnig exceptional and at 15/2 it looks a cracking bet.

In the Gimcrack, backing Temple Meads could be as nerve racking as opening those Leaving Cert results as he'll come late but I said yesterday, the best horses usually win at York and so it proved with Rip Van Winkle and Rewilding winning yesterday

Verdict
2.15 Akmal
2.50 Temple Meads
3:25 Darley Sun

At day two of the Killarney festival, The big race the 6:20 Kingdom Gold Cup looks a right cracker with Bahrain Storm, Prince Chaparral, Alpine Eagle, Deutchland and Easy Mate colliding. I'd go for Galway Hurdle second Bahrain Storm to win on his favourite ground. IN the 7:20 Chicago Grey, winner last time out in Galway will be well supported bu I'd stick with my big bet off the Galway festival Armaramak to get some compensation for his unlucky loss.

If your horse finishes second to Alpine Eagle in the 6:20

Verdict:
6:20 Bahrain Storm
7:20 Armaramak
