Horse Racing tips: Ruby Walsh’s two to avoid at Thurles on Saturday

3.10pm Pierce Malony Memorial Novice Chase

Ruby Walsh’s two to avoid in Saturday’s feature race at Thurles…

It’s usually Thurles on a Thursday but here we are with Saturday racing. It’s a really competitive race, with nine runners.

Sizing Pottsie, Capuccimix, Dunvegan, Zero Ten, Cut The Mustard and Emily Moon will all fancy their chances and there’s a fair few frontrunners in there.

They’ll be no shortage of pace. Thurles is a fast track anyway.

But I’d be worried about stamina for Cut The Mustard and for Dunvegan.

And who he’s tipping to win…

I think Zero Ten, even though he fell on his last start in Punchestown, with Davy Mullins reunited with him can be the one and might have too many gears for Sizing Pottsie.
