The Shergar Cup interests me about as much as watching an episode of Eastenders while drinking a cup of tea with sour milk so I will be keeping my powder dry until Kilbeggan this evening where there are some decent money-making opportunities.

The most appetising wager of the lot is Samanntom in the 2m3f handicap chase (8.00) who should relish going back right-handed. Moreover, the step up in trip will definitely suit.

He tried to keep tabs on the red-hot Supreme Vic at Tipperary last time. That rival was thrown in on her hurdles form and there was no shame in finding her ten lengths too good. He would have been a lot closer but for a mistake at the last and the way he travelled into the race suggests he is in rude health right now.
