16:51 – Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
For an 18-runner maiden, this doesn’t look especially deep and the market has latched on to the right horse in Coolishael. Ross O’Sullivan’s runner has already shown a fair bit more than most of these, finishing placed on both starts and bringing the standout combination of recent form, a 113 rating and a useful topspeed figure of 104. Minella Post is the obvious one to give him most to think about on raw ability, but his profile is a messy one after a fall and a pulled-up effort. Behind those, it quickly becomes more speculative, though Colliers Quay and Gordon Elliott’s Vargas are the two at bigger prices with some room for progress. It’s a race where the favourite sets the standard, but there is definitely each-way scope beyond him.
Top Selections
1. Coolishael – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Eoin Staples | Trainer: Ross O’Sullivan | Form: 32 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 104
Coolishael is the solid one in here and, frankly, he doesn’t need to improve much to win a race of this nature. A form line of 3-2 reads well in the context of this field, and his mark of 113 is already clear of most of these exposed types. The topspeed figure of 104 also tells you he’s been running to a level the majority of these have not gone near. In a maiden full of modest or unconvincing profiles, he looks the runner most likely to travel strongly and settle it from the last. At 8/13 he’s no gift, but he’s still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Colliers Quay – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Thomas O’Connor | Trainer: Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Form: 5 | Rating: | Topspeed:
Colliers Quay appeals as the each-way play in a race where plenty of the outsiders look exactly that. He shaped with some promise when fifth on debut and, unlike several of these, at least has a bit of untapped potential rather than a string of non-completions or heavy defeats behind him. This is a stable with another runner in the line-up, but Colliers Quay is clearly the more interesting of the pair on what we know so far. At 6/1 he doesn’t need to be a superstar to reward an each-way punt in an 18-runner maiden, and a straightforward step forward would put him in the places. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Coolishael is the win bet because he brings the strongest proven hurdle form and sets the clear standard. For an each-way angle, Colliers Quay makes more appeal than some of the shorter alternatives because there should be improvement to come and the race falls away quickly after the principals. Minella Post is the obvious danger if bouncing back, while Vargas is another worth respecting.

17:26 – Hollymount Nursing Home Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This looks a tight little 4yo handicap hurdle rather than a deep one, with most of the interest centred on the three towards the top of the market. Manoir De Mirande arrives in the best recent form after a win and two runner-up efforts, but he does have to shoulder top weight. O’Grady Cracker is the unexposed one after back-to-back victories and could easily have more to give, while Ocean Murphy brings the standout Topspeed figure and looks nicely treated off 124 with just 10st 4lb on his back. The others need a fair chunk of improvement on what they have shown lately. In a six-runner race, tactical pace and how they travel on this sound surface could be absolutely decisive.
Top Selections
1. Ocean Murphy – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: P J Rothwell | Form: 74-912 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 114
Ocean Murphy makes most appeal because he brings a likeable blend of current form and handicapping scope. He won two starts ago and backed that up with a solid second, so the progression is there for all to see, and his Topspeed mark of 114 is comfortably the best in this field. That matters around Ballinrobe when the tempo lifts turning for home. Carrying only 144 compared to Manoir De Mirande’s 166 could also prove significant. At 3/1 with Bet365, he looks the percentage call in a race where the market leaders are closely matched but this one may just be the best treated. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Houndsworth – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Alan King | Trainer: Mark Michael McNiff | Form: 17-654 | Rating: 120 | Topspeed: 85
Houndsworth is not the obvious one, but he is the sort who could outrun his price in a race lacking depth beyond the principals. His recent form figures do not jump off the page, yet he has been edging back towards something workable and a mark of 120 gives him a squeak if this turns into a tactical affair rather than a burn-up. He also gets in here with just 147, which puts him on much more manageable terms than the topweight. At 12/1 with Bet365, he makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter ones, especially if one of the fancied pair underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ocean Murphy is the win play. He has the strongest speed figure in the line-up, arrives in good nick and looks well enough treated to get the better of Manoir De Mirande and O’Grady Cracker. For an each-way punt in this six-runner field, Houndsworth is the value angle at double-figure odds. The main danger is Manoir De Mirande, who is very solid but may feel that big weight.

18:00 – Paddy Smyth Memorial Mares Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This looks a decent enough mares’ maiden for Ballinrobe, with a couple of obvious players but enough depth underneath to make it more than a match. Cool Native sets the standard on official figures and shaped well when third on her return, while Amina has a solid profile too and arrives after another respectable placed effort. Labondance is interesting if resuming in the same mood she showed before falling last season, and Run For Power is another with bits of form that put her in the mix. Goodgollymissholly won a weaker contest before disappointing next time and now has to bounce back under a penalty. It feels like a race likely decided by who sees out this 2m6f best rather than raw class alone, and that slightly tilts things towards the more reliable stayers.
Top Selections
1. Cool Native – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Kennedy | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 3U4-3 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 99
Cool Native is the percentage call. She brings the best rating in the field, has already shown enough to suggest a maiden like this should be within reach, and her comeback third reads perfectly well in the context of this race. Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy are not a pairing you ignore in this sort of contest, especially when the mare has already run to a level that most of these have yet to match. The slight question is whether she finds one too good again, but over this trip on decent ground she looks to hold the strongest claims. At 15/8, she is short enough but still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Amina – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Alex Harvey | Trainer: John C McConnell | Form: 2/25-3 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 59
Amina makes plenty of each-way appeal because her profile is solid, uncomplicated and she usually gives herself a chance. That latest third suggested she retains her ability, and her earlier placed efforts show she has been knocking on the door in this sphere without quite getting her head in front. John C McConnell’s mare may not have the raw figure of Cool Native, but she does look the type to stay this trip thoroughly and keep finding when others have cried enough. In a 13-runner mares’ maiden, that reliability counts for plenty. At 11/4 she is not a hidden gem, but she still rates a sound each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: back Cool Native to win, as she has the best form in the book and the strongest connections. Amina is the sensible each-way alternative in a race where stamina and attitude should matter. The main dangers are Labondance, who has some upside if fit enough, and Run For Power, while Ronnie’s Rascal is an interesting 4yo getting weight.

18:30 – Jerry McDonnell Memorial Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This is a proper Ballinrobe handicap hurdle: big field, plenty with chances, and not much room for sloppy jumping over this trip. Princess Felicia has obvious appeal after a solid return to action and is understandably towards the head of the market, while Phildante arrives off a win and Gerrys Wish has the look of a 5yo still capable of better. Giorgia Rose is knocking on the door without getting her head in front, and Barryroe Madam comes here after a more encouraging effort. It is not the deepest race in quality terms, but it is certainly a tricky puzzle because several are well treated if reproducing their best. In a race where recent match fitness and a low enough weight could prove decisive, I want to side with the runners still moving forward.
Top Selections
1. Princess Felicia – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Peter Smithers | Trainer: David Harry Kelly | Form: 00/3-2 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 95
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where a lot of these come with caveats. That latest second after an absence suggested she retains ability, and a mark of 102 does not look harsh judged on the strength of that comeback. The Topspeed figure of 95 is one of the best on offer here and, in a contest lacking many obvious progressive stayers, she looks one of the more solid propositions. At 4/1 with Bet365 she is no giveaway, but she is still the one with the fewest questions to answer and this trip on decent ground should suit. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Barryroe Madam – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: John Shinnick | Trainer: Terence O’Brien | Form: 00-004 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 89
Barryroe Madam is a much more interesting each-way play than her bare recent form might suggest. She shaped a bit better when fourth last time, which at least hinted that she is coming to the boil again, and this stamina test could help bring her into it late. She is not thrown in off 106, but she has run to a level that makes her competitive in this grade and her Topspeed of 89 says she is not short of the raw ability to get involved. In a 19-runner race with five places on offer, 8/1 with Bet365 looks fair for a mare who could easily outrun her price if building on that latest effort. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Princess Felicia is the win play because she brings the most convincing recent form and a strong speed figure for this level. Barryroe Madam is the each-way punt at a workable price in a race paying five places. Gerrys Wish and Phildante are the obvious dangers, while Giorgia Rose is another who could hit the frame without being the easiest to trust for win purposes.

19:00 – BOYLE Sports Home Of The Early Payout Chase
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This is a compact six-runner chase but it is no gimme, with the market understandably centred on Jazzy Matty, Addragoole and Bowensonfire. Jazzy Matty brings the standout figures on both rating and topspeed, and that alone makes him the obvious one to beat if returning anywhere near his best. Addragoole is a solid yardstick at this level for Gavin Cromwell, though he does give weight away all round, while Bowensonfire arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts and gets in 5lb lower. Bunting is the lurking question mark from the Mullins camp, but he has a bit to prove on what we have in front of us. It is a small-field race that could turn tactical, so class and jumping fluency may decide it more than raw pace.
Top Selections
1. Jazzy Matty – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Cian Collins | Form: 5625-6 | Rating: 159 | Topspeed: 153
Jazzy Matty is the one I want on side because his raw numbers tower over this field and, in a race lacking depth, that matters. A mark of 159 and topspeed of 153 put him clear on the figures, and although his recent form line is not flashy, he was entitled to need that latest run after a break. This sharper 2m1f on decent ground should suit a horse with proven class, and Danny Gilligan can afford to ride him positively in a race that may not take much winning. At 9/2? No, at 9/4 he is not a giveaway, but he still looks the most solid option. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Bowensonfire – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Kennedy | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 07-423 | Rating: 147 | Topspeed: 100
Bowensonfire makes more each-way appeal than most in this line-up because he arrives in better nick than a few of these and does not have to shoulder top weight. His recent figures of 4-2-3 suggest he is knocking on the door, and Jack Kennedy is exactly the sort you want in a small-field chase where positioning is crucial. He may not have the ceiling of Jazzy Matty, but he is reliable enough, handles this sort of trip, and gets a useful pull at the weights from Addragoole. With only six runners, you are not getting much place cover, but 11/4 still gives him a fair chance of hitting the frame and maybe better if the favourite underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here: Jazzy Matty is the win play because he sets the standard on the figures and should be sharper for his return. Bowensonfire is the each-way alternative in a race where current consistency counts for plenty, even with limited place terms. Addragoole is the obvious danger if bouncing back, while Bunting is the dark one if the Mullins yard has him back in business.

19:30 – Corrib Oil Beginners Chase
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This looks a pretty solid beginners’ chase for Ballinrobe rather than a weak summer affair, with several bringing respectable hurdle form and a couple already shaping well over fences. Jeroboam Machin sets the standard on recent evidence after finishing second on his latest start, while Mickie Angel has been knocking on the door and arrives with the joint-highest rating in the field. Rusty Harkness is the interesting improver after getting off the mark last time, and Donnie Devito is not easily dismissed if bouncing back. The trip should put the emphasis on stamina and slick enough jumping, and in that respect this may come down to which of the better-known names is ready to fully deliver over fences. It is competitive, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Jeroboam Machin – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Donagh Meyler | Trainer: Emmet Mullins | Form: /8-432 | Rating: | Topspeed:
Jeroboam Machin looks the one they all have to beat. His recent figures over fences suggest he is learning the job properly, and that latest second was another step in the right direction after earlier placed efforts. In a race where a few still have something to prove regarding either stamina or fluency, he brings the most convincing current profile. Emmet Mullins is not a trainer you ignore in races like this, and Donagh Meyler should be able to keep things uncomplicated. At 9/4 he is hardly a hidden gem, but he still makes plenty of appeal as the runner most likely to run his race and finally get his head in front. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jolie Jewel – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Phillip Enright | Trainer: Brian M McMahon | Form: 06-326 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 97
Jolie Jewel is the each-way angle at a double-figure price. She gets in with just 159, has a rating of 126, and that gives her a fair look against some better-fancied rivals carrying more weight. Her recent form is not flashy, but it is solid enough for this grade, and she has shown she can be competitive without everything dropping perfectly. This longer trip could suit if ridden with a bit of patience, and Phillip Enright is well capable of delivering that kind of ride around here. At 12/1 with three places on offer, she makes more appeal as a value each-way punt than some of the shorter-priced alternatives. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Jeroboam Machin is the straightforward win play and looks the most reliable option in a race where current chasing form counts for plenty. For those wanting a bit more juice, Jolie Jewel appeals each-way at 12/1 with her weight pull and fair enough rating. Mickie Angel and Rusty Harkness are the obvious dangers, especially if either finds a bit more over this longer trip.

Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD (Watering) (Outer loop) | | jumps
This looks a fairly interesting mares’ bumper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably leaning towards the big yards and the better pieces of existing form. She Was The One, The Lodge Lane and Mastertown Miss bring racecourse experience, while Elegantemente, Queens Counsel and Zara’s Dream add plenty of intrigue on debut for powerful connections. The standout bare form belongs to She Was The One after making the frame on debut, but The Lodge Lane posted the highest rating and topspeed figure of those with numbers on the board and could still have more to come. Ballinrobe bumpers often reward a filly who travels and settles, and in a 12-runner field that matters. It is not impossible to solve, but it is the sort of race where stable strength and upside count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. She Was The One – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr H C Swan | Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan | Form: 3 | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 64
She Was The One sets a fair standard among those who have already shown their hand. That debut third reads well enough in the context of this race and, crucially, she has already proved she can cope with bumper conditions and get competitive. A mark of 107 puts her right near the top of this field on known evidence, and there is every chance she steps forward from that initial outing now that the penny has dropped. At 11/2 she is not exactly hidden, but she still makes plenty of appeal in a race where several of the dangers are guessing games first time out. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. The Lodge Lane – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr S Connor | Trainer: Peter Lawlor | Form: 3 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 104
The Lodge Lane looks the value angle. She also filled third place on her only start, but the figures attached to that effort are notably strong for this line-up, with a 109 rating and a standout 104 topspeed. That suggests her effort had a bit more substance than the market may be allowing for, and this sort of race does not look beyond her at all if she builds on it in the way you would hope from a once-raced filly. The 12/1 on offer is the sort of price that catches the eye in a field where a few shorter ones are trading almost entirely on reputation. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
She Was The One is the solid win play because she brings the most convincing piece of bumper form and should improve for experience. The Lodge Lane is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, with her figures making her very hard to dismiss. Dangerous newcomers include Elegantemente, Queens Counsel and especially Zara’s Dream, whose connections alone demand respect.
