First official runner

I have my first official runner as a private trainer in youghal next monday night in the first rounds of the champion stakes with headleys mentor
i have to admit its a little strange to see my name on the card as a trainer but hopefully i can get off to the perfect start with a winner
fingers crossed anyway!!
i have changed his seeding from wide to inside as he is not an out and out wide side but he did have a tendency to drift wide off his line from trap rise but i think he is running a little straighter now
its a tricky enough line up with good dogs in all traps as you would expect
In trap 1 we have the youngster college master this fella ran well in the recent paddy byrne sweep in tralee and will be a danger to all although trap 1 might not to be his liking
In trap 3 we have the mckenna trained bitch tooquicktocatch this lady was a recent finalist in the southern oaks and the experience of running the track will stand her in good sted
In 4 we have corporate scoop his best form is over 6 bends and will likely being staying on best of all when the rest have cried enough
In 5 we have marked urgent this fella was a runner in this years derby and he is also the track record holder in enniscorthy for the 550 trip and is a strong runner and will be a tough nut to crack
Out in 6 we have the wadsworth trained compass jake a recent winner of a sweep in waterford he is in good form at present and any compass runner is a danger
So all in all its a tricky race to work out but im hopefull if my fella traps well he will make them all run i will be happy either way with a qualifacation spot
