Pudding looks sweet at Pelaw despite her recent reverse

MOANTEEN PUDDING somewhat surprisingly succumbed late on to kennelmate No Brakes last time but is fancied to regain the winning thread in Star Pelaw's 435m open at 8.03.

Glenn Foot's bitch did have to work hard to establish a lead eight days ago and that perhaps led to her vulnerability but it should be all systems go from the off this evening with clearing Chippy Chase her first objective.

Foot can also score with Burrow Belle (9.26), while other Star Pelaw open fancies are George Stark's in-form Sunderland raider Millhill May (6.46), Ronnie Knight's strong-running Fabulous Spell (7.04) against the aforementioned No Brakes and David Curry's long-absent Tromora Meg (9.09) who has been going well in trials.

The Christian Darch-trained Pandy Chris (11.29) gets the vote in the pick of seven opens at Valley, while best at Doncaster's early fixture is Ricky Overton's Slaneyside Tara (12.12).

There are three Sunday Irish fixtures with Seamus Reilly's Breffni Katie (2.44) fancied at Mullingar, Patrick O'Goran's Edermine Charm (6.39) the Clonmel pick, while Declan Crossan's Monroe Daisy (8.21) can score at Lifford.
