18/11 JOE’s Daily Double

Racing in Thurles today takes our attention for a crack at the bookies.

By Niall Cronin

Willie Mullins should have the first race at Thurles in the bag this afternoon if MORNING SUPREME can pick up from where she left off earlier in the year.

She’s won three of her four outings over jumps and comes here today after a break from the track. The ground will be testing but this mare is good enough to come home in front.

The Maiden Hurdle at 1.45pm is highly competitive, and includes a full brother to Kicking King. In the colours of Michael O’Leary, Four commanders will be well in with a shout.

However, I have to side with THE BULL HAYES for this one. He ran a blinder last time out at Naas and he’s sure to be banging on the door again.

JOE’s Daily Double: Morning Supreme (Thurles, 12.45 @ 8/11) and The Bull Hayes (Thurles, 1.45 @ 4/5)
