Early market moves

The €80,000 Goffs Thyestes Chase is the highlight at Gowran Park this afternoon but the three mile handicap is a real puzzle for punters with 9/1 the field available if you shop around with the various bookmakers.

However a significant gamble appears to be developing on Adams Island with outsider Bob Lingo also attracting support.

The Paul Nolan-trained Adams Island, with Barry Geraghty an eye-catching booking, is now generally favourite. Ladbokes slashed the gelding this morning from 10/1 into 7/1, while other firms have followed that lead.

Bob Lingo has been supported at much bigger odds. Quotes of 25/1 yesterday are well gone, with Stan James and Coral both now offering the Tom Mullins-trained ten-year-old at just 11/1.
