While Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins are tearing up Cheltenham we’re Dundalk bound with 2.   Aegeus runs at 6.30 over 12 furlong. His effort last week gave him a stay of execution. He has one foot out the door but he ran a bit better than of late in finishing 5th. This is 2 grades down and he is well drawn in 2. He seems well in himself and has just had the week freshening up and it’ll be interesting to see if he can get involved. Colin Keane rides, a huge plus. We’ll see.   Beach Bar runs in the last and renews rivalry with Jon Ess and Reckless Lad. The general consensus is that Wayne stole the race the last day and tomorrow will prove that or not as the case may be. Beach Bar is definitely still Irish Lincoln bound and with the way he is at home, it seems the right thing to let him run and give us an easy 9 days to Naas on the 25th.   Those opening few days of the turf are at the forefront of our minds, trying to pull everything together to have a few runners. These are the hard days, grafting horses, getting them away to work, combating the weather, keeping them healthy. Everyone’s in the same boat. Exciting times.
