TANK TOPS EASTER CUP MARKET

Ian Fortune

Lennies Tank may have been beaten on his 550yd debut last weekend, but displayed enough in defeat to suggest he will be really suited by the Derby trip going forward.

BOYLE Sports were certainly paying attention as they have installed the Paul Hennessy trained star as their 5-1 favourite for the Shelbourne Bookmakers Easter Cup.

Next in are two of the fastest females on the planet, Droopys Faithful and a certain Droopys Kathleen. Both are truly special when on song and they share second place in the betting at 6-1.

Crossfield Matt was one of the stars of the recent Tote Gold Cup and he won’t be shy of support at 8-1 with the step up to 550yds likely to play to his strengths. There are many more proven, top-class performers behind them in the market. Former Juvenile Derby winner and Derby third, Callaway Knegare ran well in his comeback run and is next at 10-1 with Priceless Romeo, Callaway Five and Hackney Mati at 12-1. The full market for the oldest classic on the calendar can be seen below, while the full opening round form can he seen in Upcoming cards or by clicking on THIS LINK.
