Carver should be much too sharp for his Mullingar rivals

THE best could come early on Friday with LIGHTFOOT CARVER a strong fancy in Mullingar's A5 opener over 525 yards at 11.13.

Anthony Hamilton's charge has a two from four record at this level and ran well in defeat when returned to it last time.

He has a significant advantage on the clock too with his November A4 victory in a calculated 29.39sec the standout piece of form on view.

Other Mullingar fancies are David Murray's Drinane Sydney (12.04) and Richard Dempsey's Ceilidh (12.21).

Harlow has a Friday SIS double-header with Sally Clark's Minnies Daria (11.04) the early standout, while Sharon Saberton's Hidden Babs (7.42) can complete a hat-trick at the evening fixture.

The afternoon action comes from Suffolk Downs where Michelle Brown's Bucking Bucks (4.18) can make it five wins in his last six starts by landing an A2 which is an open in all but name.
