Thereisnod­oubt what to punt on in Ireland

-

WITH the outbreak of equine flu putting a stop to racing in the UK, we head over to Naas today for the Scoop6 with five of the races live on ITV4.

One punter who won £42,383 from a £2 straight line last week can add the £45,609 bonus fund – if they find the winner of the 3.40.

We start at 1.40 where All For Joy can gain a long overdue first win.

He was fourth in a decent Leopardsto­wn maiden hurdle and has been runner-up on all five bumper runs. This point-to-point winner can shed the maiden tag for Oliver McKiernan.

Take a chance with Teacher’s Pet in the 2.10. Although she has a bit to find, she can make good use of assured stamina while plenty of the others have questions to answer.

Leg three can go to impressive course winner and recent JP McManus purchase Konitho, who looks like taking this en route to a tilt at the Cheltenham Festival.

Bilbo Bagins can lord it over his rivals in leg four. Just denied at Galway, this consistent chaser can back to winning ways under

Sean Flanagan. A

competitiv­e fifth leg can go to Clonmel winner Thereisnod­oubt, who bolted up by nine lengths there and the runner-up won at Ayr on Wednesday to frank the form.

The final contest can go to Front View for JP McManus, who was so impressed by his horses conqueror last time, that he bought him.

Front View was beaten 11 lengths by Blue Sari, who is now vying for favouritis­m for the Champion Bumper. MARK PEARSON
