RACING:JOSEPH O'Brien travels to Roscommon this evening, where he can secure a valuable winning bracket for Reaching in the opening fillies maiden. A win would be important for the well-bred daughter of Dansili's future stud career and Reaching fans will be hoping for better fortune than on her last start at Naas.
Most observers reckoned she had got the better of a close finish with I’m Sheikira but the photo said otherwise. With a 75 rating, and ground conditions getting better, this looks a good opportunity for the Ballydoyle representative.
The O’Brien team also have the Chester Cup fifth Harrison’s Cave in the mile and a half handicap but the course and distance winner Paddy The Celeb could be a better option.
Ruby Walsh is always a significant jockey booking when snapped up by Dermot Weld and they run El Toreros in the four year old hurdle. Official figures though make Experimentalist his superior and that one should show the benefit of a recent run at Ballinrobe.
