Woodbrook to boost his Lifford strike rate against old rival Razl

WOODBROOK MONTY is incredibly consistent without boasting a good strike rate but career success number two could be on the cards in a Lifford A7 over 525 yards at 3.22.

Peter Thompson's dog has made the podium 11 times in his last 13 starts for just that one victory but the cards can fall his way on this occasion.

He meets old rival Steeple Rd Razl for the fourth race in a row currently trailing 2-1 after a couple of narrow reverses but being drawn as close to the inside as two can very much work in the selection's favour today.

Paul Whyte's Fridays Mozart (3.59) and John McQuillan's False Statement (5.14) are subsequent fancies at the north-west track.

Clonmel is the evening venue where David McGeer's Samrose Crash (6.29) and Dora Hattemore's Chaotic Panther (7.42) are graded fancies, while Canice Hyland's Foxrock Nell can take the featured A1/A0 contest at 7.58.

Valley is the first Sunday meeting under way with Christian Darch's Affleck Salsabil fancied to improve her already smart 5 from 15 record in D3 sprint grade at 12.54.

There is also early action at Doncaster where Jimmy Gaskin's Good Berry can continue her fine run of form in a B4 contest at 11.54.
