Farmost is a must

Leopardstown may have the Group pots, the big names and the £41,000 plus Jackpot carryover but tomorrow's Tramore fixture has its own boast with the appearance of Farmost in the nine-furlong handicap.

The renowned Newmarket trainer Sir Mark Prescott has decided to send the seven-year-old to the unique Tramore track and has brought the Group One-winning rider Seb Sanders to ride it. As tips go, it's a pretty extravagant one.

Farmost is no back number either as he has victories to his credit at Lingfield, Redcar and Chepstow. Those tracks may have little in common with Tramore but it's encouraging for Farmost that he was able to win around Chester's tight turns.

Ranged against the English raider are the top-weight Molly-O who scored at Naas last Monday by a neck from Sarraaf and Golden Spice who was runner-up to Monitor, also at Naas.

Sanders also looks to have a chance of winning on Kengar in the nine-furlong maiden. The Michael Grassick horse just missed out in a tight photo for second behind Kolleya on Wednesday night at Fairyhouse and this race will not take a lot of winning.

Davy Russell's presence on Mind The Missus in the opener could be crucial while Garryhandkard is marginally preferred in the last.

It's Wexford's job to fill the Saturday void this weekend and while there may be no equine stars on show, maybe Mutahamis can make a trip to the south east track profitable.

Dermot Weld's horse eventually got the better of Maradan at Killarney on fast ground but then flopped when favourite at Galway behind Class Society. There was a significant dig in the ground on that occasion and maybe these conditions will suit better.

Maradan himself cut no ice in a hurdle at Galway but he had looked all over the winner of that Killarney race until caught close home and maybe he can upset the Aga Khan's Deylviyna in the mile and five maiden.
