17:26 – C.J. Sheeran Ltd 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly interesting juvenile maiden rather than a weak opener, with some solid bits of hurdle form already on the board and a handful of nicely-bred newcomers from powerful yards adding a layer of intrigue. Nicky Larson, Minella Buoy and Sofi’s Gift set the standard on what they’ve achieved already, while Nod Of Approval, Motherland and Divine Believer represent connections you ignore at your peril in this sphere. The balance between proven hurdle experience and untapped potential should decide it. Ballinrobe’s sharp enough test over 2m can suit accurate, handy types, so I wouldn’t want to be backing a slow burner at cramped odds. It’s a proper betting race, but one where the market leaders have to be respected.
Top Selections
1. Nicky Larson – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Flanagan | Trainer: Paul Nolan | Form: 3 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 15
There wasn’t much wrong with Nicky Larson’s debut third over hurdles and, in a race where plenty are either learning on the job or arriving with questions to answer, that experience counts for plenty. His mark of 109 is among the better pieces of evidence on offer here and Paul Nolan’s juveniles are usually taught their trade properly. Sean Flanagan is another positive in a race where smooth navigation matters. At 7/2 with Bet365, he doesn’t look flashy, but he does look solid, and this may simply come down to who is most professional from the last two flights home. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Divine Believer – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Divine Believer is the one that appeals as the each-way play because this isn’t a stable that wastes bullets in juvenile hurdles, and the 147lb allowance for the fillies is no bad thing at all in a race like this. Henry De Bromhead can ready one first time when the job requires it, and Darragh O’Keeffe is an assured rider around here. With several of the exposed runners looking more place than win material, a newcomer from these connections at 9/1 with Bet365 makes plenty of sense as an each-way punt. She doesn’t need to be a superstar to hit the frame and could easily be better than the bare paper suggests. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Nicky Larson is the percentage call for the win given his useful opening third and the strength of his rating. For an each-way alternative, Divine Believer makes plenty of appeal at the prices from a yard well capable of landing this with a newcomer. Minella Buoy and Sofi’s Gift are the obvious dangers, while any move for Nod Of Approval would be worth noting.

17:57 – Bank Of Ireland Brendan Maloney Memorial Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fair maiden rather than a deep one, and the market should have it about right around the handful with established hurdle form. How’s Ellie sets the standard on the figures after a solid second last time and, with Paul Townend booked for Willie Mullins, she is the obvious one they all have to beat. Texas Red has been knocking on the door in similar company and brings a reliable level of form, while Crystal Mariner and Be My Fortune are the more interesting unexposed types. Boo Radley has a big stable behind him too, but he needs to leave that latest run well behind. In a 16-runner race there are enough unknowns to make it a little tricky, but proven hurdling ability should count for plenty over this sharp 2m.
Top Selections
1. How’s Ellie
Jockey: Paul Townend | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 55-62 | Rating: 118 | Topspeed: 106
She brings the best piece of recent hurdle form into the race and that matters in a maiden full of runners either learning on the job or still needing to show they handle this discipline properly. That latest second suggested she is ready to win one of these, and a mark of 118 alongside that standout topspeed figure of 106 makes her the solid option. Mullins and Townend in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle is never a combination to get cute against, and she doesn’t need much more improvement to take this. Hard to oppose if reproducing the last run. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Crystal Mariner – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Crystal Mariner is the sort who appeals as an each-way play in a race where plenty have questions to answer. There is no published hurdle form to lean on here, so this is more about stable placement, profile and price, but Hanlon is not a trainer to ignore in these events and 15/2 looks workable in a 16-runner maiden lacking depth behind the principals. If the Mullins favourite underperforms or one of the better-known names fails to progress, this fellow could easily be the one staying on into the frame. At the prices, he looks the value each-way punt rather than a wild swing. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: How’s Ellie is the win bet, because she owns the strongest hurdles form and sets the clear standard. Crystal Mariner makes more appeal as the each-way alternative at 15/2 in a big field with three places on offer. Texas Red is the obvious danger after a string of decent runs, while Be My Fortune is one to note if the Elliott yard has him sharper for his debut.

18:27 – Cummins Homevalue Hardware Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a proper competitive Ballinrobe handicap rather than a penalty kick, with plenty arriving here from different angles and not many completely bombproof. Koeur A Prendre sets the standard in the market after back-to-back seconds and is clearly the solid one, while Chemdawg has been shaping like a well-treated horse and carries a handy weight for one with his profile. Le Diablo is better than his latest run, Ripsnorter still has time on his side as a 5yo, and Theanniversary Man is dangerously low in the weights if bouncing back. Over this sharp 2m on good ground, tactical pace and clean jumping should count for plenty. It is a tricky enough puzzle, but not an impossible one.
Top Selections
1. Chemdawg – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Phillip Enright | Trainer: Oliver McKiernan | Form: PP21-2 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 99
Chemdawg makes plenty of appeal from the foot of the weights after a really solid return when second, and that form string suggests he has properly turned a corner. A mark of 113 looks workable when set against some of these more exposed rivals, and the combination of a low weight and proven recent competitiveness is hard to ignore in a race like this. Phillip Enright is a positive booking for a horse who should be able to travel strongly over this trip, and 4/1 looks fair rather than flashy. In a race full of question marks, he is the one I want on side most.
Bet: WIN
2. Le Diablo – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: J J Slevin | Trainer: John Patrick Ryan | Form: 705230 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 111
Le Diablo is the each-way play because he has a bit more substance to his profile than the price suggests. His topspeed figure of 111 is one of the standout numbers in the field, and while he disappointed last time, his earlier placed efforts hinted that he is capable of being very competitive in this grade when things fall right. J J Slevin is exactly the sort you want in a race where positioning and timing matter, and if the good ground helps him travel a touch sweeter, 14/1 starts to look generous. He is not without risk, but he is very interesting at the odds.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Chemdawg is the straightforward win bet given his recent second, attractive weight and the sense that his mark is still workable. For an each-way punt, Le Diablo appeals as the value angle at double-figure odds and has the figures to get involved if rebounding. Koeur A Prendre is the obvious danger, while Ripsnorter is another who would not surprise if stepping forward.

18:57 – Broderick’s Electric Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper Ballinrobe handicap hurdle in that it looks competitive at first glance, but the more you dig the more it seems to revolve around a handful arriving with the right profile. Cool Summer is the obvious starting point after a solid second and gets in here off 106, while Grey Gardens has been running well enough in stronger company and brings the best topspeed figure in the field among the principals. Sidiriya is another with a workable low weight and arrives in decent nick, whereas Max Meridius has to bounce back from a poor run after scoring earlier in the summer. Plenty of the rest have questions to answer, so although 19 runners make this look messy, it may not be quite as deep as the numbers suggest.
Top Selections
1. Grey Gardens – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Eoin Staples | Trainer: Paul Nolan | Form: 30-374 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 94
Grey Gardens makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of the market leaders still have something to prove. Paul Nolan’s 5yo has been keeping better company than this on occasions and that latest fourth suggested he remains on a workable mark of 100. The topspeed figure of 94 stands out in this field and, in a race where some rivals are either out of form or vulnerable to the handicapper, he looks the one with the soundest all-round case. Eoin Staples takes over and the 5/1 on offer looks fair rather than flashy, but solid. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sidiriya – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tiernan Power Roche | Trainer: P J Rothwell | Form: 06-325 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 84
Sidiriya is the each-way play because she is doing enough right to think she’ll give you a run for your money in a big field over this sharp 2m. Her recent figures of 3-2-5 read well in the context of this race and she gets in here with just 145lb, which could be important late on around Ballinrobe. P J Rothwell’s mare isn’t bombproof, but she has been competitive more often than not of late and this sort of race looks within range. At 7/1 with five places on offer, she makes plenty of sense as an each-way punt against a few shorter ones. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Grey Gardens is the win play because he brings the best recent substance and a strong speed figure for the grade. Sidiriya is the sensible each-way option with her low weight and reliable enough recent profile. Cool Summer is the obvious danger after that latest second, while Max Meridius has the ability to get involved if forgiving his last run.

19:27 – Burleigh Accountancy Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m 1f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a competitive little staying handicap rather than a deep one, and the shape of it is fairly clear. Down Around and Run For The Border sit near the head of the market for good reason, both arriving with workable weights and recent enough form to suggest a race like this is within reach. Killowen House is the classier profile on figures and comes here off a consistent sequence, while Ladiam is another who has slipped to a tempting mark and should stay strongly. Dorans Law also enters calculations after a better effort last time. It may not take a world-beater to win it, but you do want a horse who sees out 3m1f properly and can travel on this decent ground. In a race where a few have questions, it feels more solid than spectacular.
Top Selections
1. Run For The Border – 4/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Daniel King | Trainer: John Patrick Ryan | Form: 57-324 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 108
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with his mix of recent consistency and a light racing weight. That 57-324 line tells the story of a horse knocking on the door, and the latest fourth did little to dent confidence given he has been holding his form well. An OR of 119 looks fair rather than harsh, and his Topspeed mark of 108 says he has the engine for a contest of this standard. John Patrick Ryan’s runner looks the type to be produced late and, at 4/1, he strikes me as the percentage call against rivals carrying more baggage in the formbook. Bet: WIN
2. Killowen House – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack G Gilligan | Trainer: Paul John Gilligan | Form: 3734 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 116
He is the obvious each-way play because he brings the strongest blend of proven ability and reliability into the race. Four straight efforts reading 3734 may not scream winner, but they do mark him down as a solid operator in this grade, and his figures back that up. A rating of 126 is the highest in the field and the 116 Topspeed figure stands out too, so there is no mystery about his chance. The slight concern is whether he is becoming expensive to follow, but in an eight-runner race with three places on offer, 4/1 is perfectly fair for a horse who should again be thereabouts throughout. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Run For The Border is the win bet because he looks attractively weighted and arrives in the right sort of nick for a staying handicap like this. Killowen House is the sensible each-way alternative given his consistency and stronger raw figures. Down Around is an obvious danger off 147, while Ladiam is the one who could outrun his price if this turns into a proper stamina test.

| On The Nose | Killowen House |
19:57 – Bay Leaf Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden on paper, but it is still competitive enough once you get past the obvious pair at the head of the market. Keep Em Quite brings the best hurdles rating and the strongest raw figures into it, while Gainsville has the powerful Henry De Bromhead angle and should improve again after just two starts in this sphere. Western Shores is another with a leading yard behind him and has shown enough in three runs to think a race like this is within range. After that, you are dealing with a lot of exposed or limited types, though Three County Star and Scotty Joe are not completely dismissed if bouncing back. In truth, this should be decided by which of the better-treated, less exposed runners sees out the trip best.
Top Selections
1. Keep Em Quite – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Cian Collins | Form: 505-5 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 84
He sets the standard on what has actually been achieved over hurdles and, in a race lacking depth, that matters. A mark of 108 is the best in the field and his Topspeed figure of 84 also stands out, suggesting there is substance to the form rather than just promise. The latest fifth was hardly explosive, but it was another run that hinted he can win an ordinary maiden when things fall right. This step up to 2m6f could easily help, and Danny Gilligan is a positive booking for a yard capable of placing one to advantage. At 11/4, he looks the solid one. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Western Shores – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Kennedy | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 556 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 50
Western Shores is the one that makes most each-way appeal because he has been running in a way that suggests a race like this is well within reach. His form figures of 556 are not flashy, but they are respectable in the context of this contest, and a hurdles rating of 104 puts him right in the mix. You can easily argue there is more to come now he goes up in trip, and having Jack Kennedy on board for Gordon Elliott in a Ballinrobe maiden is not something I want to ignore. At 6/1, he looks the value alternative to the favourite pair and a sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep Em Quite is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given his rating edge and stronger body of hurdle form. Western Shores is the each-way play at a fairer price, especially with three places on offer. Gainsville is the obvious danger if stepping forward again, while Room For One More is the one who could outrun market expectations for a top yard.

20:30 – Tim Kelly Group Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper Ballinrobe handicap hurdle puzzle to close the card, with 19 runners and plenty arriving with something to prove. Pilgrims Walk is the obvious starting point after a promising second on handicap debut, while Moonshine Girl has been knocking on the door and looks sure to give another honest account from a handy weight. Cornaroya Rocco also comes here on the back of a solid runner-up effort, and La Tene is one of the more interesting lower-weight runners after shaping better last time. The likes of Queen Kulina and The Little Yank have each-way claims if things drop right, but this doesn’t look a deep race despite the numbers. In truth, it feels more tricky than classy, and a bit of upside may count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Pilgrims Walk – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ross Sugrue | Trainer: P J Rothwell | Form: 080-2 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 87
He’s the one with the most obvious scope. A 4yo taking a sharp step forward when second on his latest start, Pilgrims Walk suddenly looked much more at home in handicap company and that form gives him strong claims in a race of this nature. An opening mark of 100 still looks workable and, in a field full of exposed older hurdlers, he stands out as the progressive sort. Ross Sugrue keeps the ride and at 11/2 with Bet365 he makes plenty of appeal in a contest where improvement could be the decisive factor. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. La Tene – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Michael Kenneally | Trainer: John Patrick Ryan | Form: 39F-P3 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 48
La Tene is not the easiest to trust entirely, but this mark gives him a fighting chance and the latest third suggested he retains enough ability to get involved again. He carries just 142, which is attractive in a race where several of the principals are lumbered with much bigger weights, and John Patrick Ryan’s runner has been dropped into a contest lacking any standout performer. He doesn’t need to improve a ton to hit the frame and, in a 19-runner handicap with five places on offer, 8/1 with Bet365 looks fair enough for an each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pilgrims Walk is the win play because he’s one of the few in here with the profile of a horse still going forward. For an each-way alternative, La Tene makes more appeal than most at the weights and should be staying on late. Moonshine Girl is the obvious danger after back-to-back seconds, while Cornaroya Rocco also has a race like this in him.
