Tom Cleary believes he is heading to Dundalk this evening with three good chances on the card.
The trainer expects Sweet Annathea in the Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Handicap, General Bunching in the second division of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap and Timjoe in the Jamie McDonald Great Canada Run Handicap to all run well.
Of Sweet Annathea, Cleary said: "She was unlucky the last night and got boxed in at a vital moment. She was coming home best of all, so I'd say she is there with a right good chance. It was her first run back after a break, and she's never been as well in herself.
"General Bunching is after having a good break and is really in right good form. I can't see him being far away either.
"We just bought Timjoe around the time of his last run, and this is his first run in my name (previously trained by Terence O'Brien). He ran a cracker the last day, and he'll be more suited to the mile and a half here.
"He's won over a mile and six furlongs at Ballinrobe and has also won a point-to-point so he's a real stayer. He's in right good form and I'd be expecting him to have a good shout."
