Doire's trip

The 10 furlongs of the Clonmel track worked the oracle for Doire-Chrinn last November, and back over the same turf Doire-Chrinn is suggested as nap material in tonight's Cahir Handicap.

Runner-up four times last season, Doire-Chrinn finally got off the mark when just beating the decent Molly-O, and two spins already this term should now see her at a peak.

Over six furlongs at the Curragh it was no surprise to see her down the field on her first start, and even the mile she ran over at Killarney last time looked only just enough.

Doire-Chrinn travelled like a winner throughout that race but the well-backed Helen Bach proved just too strong in the closing stages. The extra quarter-mile of this evening's trip should be ideal and Doire-Chrinn is taken to beat last Sunday's course and distance principals, Zawoyski and Larifaari.

Michael Kinane dons the Giant's Causeway colours for Leopard Rock in the opener, and the tip should be taken especially in the light of Leopard Rock's impressive maiden hurdle victory at Killarney.

Back To Bavaria trotted up on her last start in a 0-50 and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop her adding to John Bowles' brilliant run in the 12-furlong handicap, while Hazel's Tisrara, on the back of a decent first run in five months at Punchestown, is taken to score for Tom Foley in the bumper.
