ODDS GUARANTEED

1.55pm RACE 1

(Generously sponsored by BoyleSports)

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting.

About 2 miles 175 yards.

RACE PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: JACKFINBAR

RACE VERDICT

Paul Townend prefers Hipop De Loire to Jackfinbar and given his Flat ability, he could be a useful recruit to hurdling. Arabian Diamond ran well in a maiden hurdle over 2m5f here last year but finished lame when last seen and this trip is a worry. Jasko Des Dames has the best form over hurdles but is unproven on good ground. Preference is for APPLE’S OF BRESIL. He seemed to relish the good ground when winning a Sligo bumper and he wasn’t that far behind a subsequent maiden winner when 3rd on his sole start over hurdles in a 2m4f maiden at Leopardstown.

The BoyleSports Handicap Hurdle

of €110,000 (Listed Race)

(Registered as the Mervue Handicap Hurdle) (Generously sponsored by BoyleSports)

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards that have run at least three times in hurdle races up to and including 21st July 2024.

About 2 miles 6 furlongs 108 yards.

RACE PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg

form,

going.)

PREDICTION: BEACON EDGE

RACE VERDICT

Cases can be made for lots of these. BILLERICAY DICKIE has yet to fulfil the promise of his maiden hurdle win but there’s time yet and, for a 1m4f good-ground winner in France, these less taxing conditions could see him in a very different light. Toto Too is another lightly-raced contender who would surely have been in the mix off this mark had he not come down late on at Ballinrobe. Hardy campaigner Beacon Edge is in good enough form right now to make his presence felt. [Alistair Jones] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

There’s some nicely bred newcomers in this and the market should reveal plenty about their prospects. On form, PUPPET MASTER sets the standard and with improvement likely from his Killarney debut, he is hard to oppose. Delta makes the most appeal on paper and he could be the biggest threat

RACE VERDICT

Dermot Weld’s NEWTOWN DUKE chased home a solid yardstick on debut at Limerick and a repeat of that should suffice here. Thequietman also shaped well on his first start but he’s been off since and this is very different ground. The form of Flying Bay’s last run was boosted here earlier this week and he is not without a chance. El Regalo and Woottonpassit could go well at bigger odds [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post

The Whiriskey Refrigeration Irish EBF Nursery Handicap of €17,000

(Generously sponsored by Whiriskey Refrigeration and the Irish EBF (€2,000))

An extended handicap for two years old only that are EBF eligible (80 = 9st 12lbs).

About 7 furlongs. Starting at stalls.

RACE PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: ELZEM

RACE VERDICT

Probably best to concentrate on the top three in the handicap. ELZEM (nap) is improving with his racing and could take the beating here from a good draw. Both King Thistle and Lady O have high draws, the latter quite nicely treated on her best form and likely to appreciate this drop back in trip, while the former got the trip well at Down Royal [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: CAMELETTA VEGA

RACE VERDICT

Willie Mullins has won this five times in eight years and CAMELETTA VEGA, a daughter of Quevega and therefore closely related to Facile Vega, could wipe the floor with these if as good as she’s bred to be. Arctic Piper could be the danger having shown consistency thus far, though she hardly sets the bar very high. Dancing Dame and Parga Diamond are next best.. [Alistair Jones] Source: Racing Post
