Laurel to take the laurel!!

Tonight sees curraheen park host its biggest night of the year with the cashmans sponsored 2008 laurels final the headline act on the card it has turned out to be quality final with all 6 runners having a live chance on the clock it ill be the most closely contested final for years in the sponsors betting pat buckleys slip the lark is a short price favourite and deservedly so lets Have a look at the six finalists in trap order
solinus: this son of top honcho and doll face to my eye He has a real chance at a price he has great early pace and trapping ability and the inside draw is certain to suit if he can get round the first bend in front he will take some catching and it would be great to see an owner trained dog put it up to the big fellas
cabra cool: pat buckley first of 2 runners another with fine early pace and very consistent at the box's and again he has the clock done to challenge the best of them an 8/1 chance with the sponsors another that is great value he has yet to be out of the first 2 so far in the competition and can not be ruled out
chicken supper:this son of tucks mein is running out of his skin at the moment but he has a lot of running done in the past few weeks when competing in youghal and cork on consecutive nights this however has done him no harm so far but i think tonight might be a step to far for him the sponsors have him at 14/1 and this looks about right
slip the lark: pat buckleys second final list and worthy fav this flying son of the great larkhill jo looks to have a massive chance to get his first classic after being narrowly touched off in the Irish derby final by shelbourne aston its a massive achievement for buckley to keep him running at the top of his game this will be his 13th week in a row going to traps and he will be a very worthy winner if he can pull it off however his price by cashmans 11/10 is way to short in my book
tyrur laurel: well what can you say about this fella that hasn't been already said he has to be one of the most unluckiest dogs in training finishing the bridesmaid so many times a class animal and i for one would love to see him win as i have a good few quid on the line if he can get his head in front the sponsors have him at 5/2
cashen legend: takes the final spot and this son of ballintore brave is very consistent and his owner trainer chris houlihan has had some craic around the country with a few of this litter and is not afraid to take on the big boys and with some success it has to be said
chris is after a tough year health wise and it would be just the tonic if legend could bring home the bacon it was interesting to hear that liam cashman said he was the best drawn of the six finalists and he is a shrewd judge of a dog and so his opinion might be worth listening to the sponsors have him at 14/1
A great night is in store with a top class supporting card
