    Caolaneoin is a long time without a win but he ran in some good handicaps last year and should prove fitter for his comeback dropped to a nice mark of 107 with a capable claimer on board. Second last at Naas tomorrow not one for massive stakes but at 12/1 or 10/1 is worth chancing

    yeah that sideways jump at the 3rd from home almost certainly cost him the race.

    Interesting maiden at 2:00 tomorrow. Coolmore hype horse is seeing plenty of dough, but Sir Mark's horse O'Connors Girl was eye-catching to me on debut when it was held up and made up lengths at the close. 11/2 a decent price should the hype not justify itself.

    Have also backed this horse for exactly the same reason.

    Wow, that step up in trip proved the key to Stars at Night. Destroyed that field.

    how many races (maiden hurdles) does a horse have run in before it is given a handicap rating?

    Has to be entered into a handicap to get a rating.

    If that was the case, there are plenty of trainers who would go out of business fairly quick.
