16:27 – Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 6f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a lively opening juvenile maiden rather than a penalty kick, even if Switching Sides brings the clearest piece of form after finishing second on debut and earning a lofty 91 rating. She sets the standard, but there are enough unexposed types to make this more than a procession. Penny Benjamin also hit the frame first time and did so to a slightly higher mark, while Trean represents a yard that knows exactly what’s required with this type. Alrashdeyah and Bit Of A Buzz have experience and should be sharper for it, but this may well come down to whether proven form can hold off one of the better-bred newcomers. Tricky enough, and not a race to take short odds lightly.
Top Selections
1. Penny Benjamin – 5/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 2 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 60
Penny Benjamin appeals as the percentage call. A debut second in a race like this is already solid currency, and the fact she comes here with the highest rating in the field makes her very hard to ignore. She also receives weight from the colts and geldings, which matters in a 2yo maiden over 6f, especially if this turns into a proper test rather than a dash. Noel Meade’s filly looks sure to know more this time, and Chris Hayes is the kind of rider you want in a big-field juvenile contest. At 5/1, she makes considerably more appeal than the odds-on favourite. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Trean – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: P Twomey | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want the each-way play against the obvious debut form, Trean is the one. P Twomey doesn’t waste bullets in these juvenile maidens, and when one of his is prominent in the market first time up, it usually pays to take notice. Drawn in 4, with W J Lee booked, this newcomer has the right profile for a race where the exposed runners are good rather than frightening. Switching Sides is respected, of course, but she’s short enough in a 19-runner maiden, and Trean could easily be the one with the most upside. At 5/1, he looks a perfectly fair each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Penny Benjamin is the win bet on the strength of her debut second and standout rating, while Trean is the each-way alternative in a race where an unexposed newcomer could easily crash the party. Switching Sides is the obvious danger and sets the form standard for the market, with Alrashdeyah another who could outrun her price.

17:02 – Winter Festival Early Bird Handicap
Race Details: 6f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper 3yo handicap rather than a giveaway, with several arriving on the back of solid efforts and not much between the principals on official figures. Stone Bear and Joyful Tidings head the market for good reason, both bringing recent placed or winning form, while Venetian Star keeps threatening to get his head back in front. Breaking Dawn is another with upside after scoring before disappointing last time, and Absoluteassignment is lurking on a dangerous mark at the foot of the weights. The likely difference-maker could be who gets the cleanest trip and handles this 6f strongly on good to yielding ground, because plenty of these have bits of sprint form that tie in neatly. Tricky enough, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Joyful Tidings – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gary Carroll | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: 7-7502 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 79
He looks the percentage call. That latest second suggested he is coming to the boil now, and the combination of an 85 rating and a joint-best Topspeed figure of 79 says he has the raw ability for a race of this nature. Cromwell’s runners are rarely short of fitness and Gary Carroll is the sort you want in a competitive sprint handicap. From stall 8 he should have options rather than excuses, and 5/1 is fair enough in a race where some of the others are a touch more exposed or arrive with a question to answer. He holds strong claims if building on that latest effort.
Bet: WIN
2. Absoluteassignment – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Ryan | Trainer: Anthony Mullins | Form: 0772 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 79
This one makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. The form figures do not scream consistency, but that recent second was a big step in the right direction and hinted that things are starting to click. He gets in here with just 124, which is a very workable weight for a 3yo sprint handicap, and his Topspeed of 79 matches the best in the field, so there is no lack of ability if he can repeat it. Gavin Ryan is a positive booking and stall 6 looks perfectly serviceable. At 10/1, he looks the value each-way punt against shorter-priced rivals.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Joyful Tidings is the win play after that latest runner-up effort, and he looks the most solid option in a race full of plausible cases. Absoluteassignment is the each-way alternative, with his low weight and improving profile giving him a real chance of hitting the frame. Stone Bear is the obvious danger after a productive spell, while Venetian Star also has the form to get involved again.

17:37 – Maher Tractor Sales Handicap (Div I)
Race Details: 6f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is the sort of 6f handicap that looks straightforward at first glance and then quickly starts tying you in knots. Im Spartacus arrives off a win and is an obvious player despite a wide draw, while Dervo Annie has the profile of a 3yo who could still be ahead of the assessor after a solid second last time. Jampa Ling is another with strong claims in the younger brigade, and there are bits of older handicap form in the likes of Hero Of The Hour and Rosato if they can rediscover it. With 16 runners, pace and track position will matter, and this doesn’t look an especially deep race for the grade, but it is certainly a tricky one where a well-treated 3yo may again have the edge.
Top Selections
1. Dervo Annie – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: Ms Claire O’Connell | Form: 708-72 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 56
She makes plenty of appeal here. That latest second suggested she is learning her job quickly enough, and a mark of 61 still looks workable for a 3yo in a race where plenty of these are fully exposed. The standout figure is the topspeed of 56, which is the best in the field, and Colin Keane taking over only adds to the attraction from stall 2. In a big-field sprint at Fairyhouse, that low draw could prove a real asset if she breaks cleanly. At 3/1 she is no giveaway, but she has the most convincing mix of recent form, scope and rider booking. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jampa Ling – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Gary Carroll | Trainer: Kieran P Cotter | Form: -15963 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 51
He looks the each-way value against the two market leaders. His recent form has been a bit mixed on paper, but that latest third was perfectly respectable and he still has the profile of a 3yo who can nick one of these sprint handicaps before long. Draw 16 is the obvious concern, because you never want to be too dogmatic about a wide stall over 6f here, but he has enough pace to get involved if things pan out on that side. Gary Carroll is a positive booking and, at 15/2 with five places on offer, he makes plenty of sense as the each-way punt in a race lacking depth beyond the principals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Dervo Annie is the win play: solid recent form, the best topspeed in the field and a handy low draw with Keane booked. For an each-way alternative, Jampa Ling appeals at the prices with five places to aim at. The obvious danger is Im Spartacus, who comes here in winning form, though stall 14 asks a different question this time.

18:10 – Maher Tractor Sales Handicap (Div II)
Race Details: 6f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a proper sprint handicap puzzle rather than a race full of future stars, but there are a few with notably solid claims. Alnofoor arrives in the best nick after winning twice before a respectable third, while Hooves Your Daddy has the profile of a 3yo who could still be ahead of the assessor. Glen Breeze is another of the younger brigade with a low weight and recent placed form, and Dynamic Force has shaped well enough on his last two starts to enter the reckoning. In a 17-runner 6f handicap at Fairyhouse, track position, a clear passage and how they handle the tempo will matter plenty. It is competitive, but not impenetrable.
Top Selections
1. Hooves Your Daddy – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Jarlath P Fahey | Form: 700-23 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 31
This 3yo makes plenty of appeal in a race where a bit of upside is worth latching onto. He has hit the frame on both starts this term, the latest 23 reading suggesting he is holding his form well, and he gets in here with just 133. Against largely exposed older handicappers, that matters. Shane Foley is a positive booking and there is a fair chance this lad has not reached his ceiling yet over sprint trips. At 6/1, he looks the one with the right blend of recent form and scope for a race of this nature. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Glen Breeze – 8/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Siobhan Rutledge | Trainer: Patrick Magee | Form: 707602 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 51
Glen Breeze looks the each-way value if building on that latest second, which was easily one of the better recent efforts on show in this field. He is another 3yo getting weight from plenty of these, and a mark of 60 leaves him with room to be competitive if he can back that run up. The draw in 14 is not ideal or disastrous in a big-field Fairyhouse sprint; much will depend on where the pace develops. Still, with just 119 to carry and 8/1 available, he makes plenty of sense as the each-way punt in a race where many have had their chance. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Hooves Your Daddy is the win play, chiefly because he brings the strongest unexposed 3yo profile into an ordinary enough handicap. Glen Breeze is the each-way alternative with five places on offer and a feather weight on his back. Alnofoor is the obvious danger on current form, while Dynamic Force is another to keep on side for minor honours.

18:45 – Pat’s Carpets Race
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a tidy little 7f contest rather than an easy punting heat, with a mix of proven older handicappers and a couple of interesting 3yos getting weight. Zodiac Bear and Cowardofthecounty dominate the market on official figures and both arrive with perfectly solid claims, while Tina’s Indian is the dependable yardstick if bouncing back from a slightly flat latest effort. The really intriguing runner, though, is Ocean’s Breath, who comes here on the back of a win and gets in with just 130lb as an unexposed 3yo. Fairyhouse can reward tactical speed at this trip and the draw could matter, but in a field of nine the race should be decided more by who is still improving than by luck in running. Tricky enough, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Ocean’s Breath
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: G M Lyons | Form: 24-191 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 85
He makes plenty of appeal as the progressive one in the line-up. That profile of 24-191 suggests he has been finding his feet nicely, and the latest win says he arrives here in the right frame of mind. A mark of 100 does not look harsh for a 3yo against older horses when he receives weight all round, and the booking of Colin Keane is an obvious positive in a race where positioning could be crucial. There are classier exposed rivals on figures, but Ocean’s Breath has the upside they lack and looks the one most likely to take another step forward. He is the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Cowardofthecounty – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Declan McDonogh | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien | Form: 590-82 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 51
Joseph O’Brien’s 4yo is not especially hard to fancy after that return to form last time, and his rating of 108 sets a clear standard in this field. The form figures are a bit lumpy at a glance, but the latest second was much more like it and hinted that he is ready to strike again. Stall 9 is not ideal, yet Declan McDonogh is more than capable of getting him into a sensible rhythm, and if he reproduces his best form he is bang there. At 11/4 he is no secret, but for each-way purposes in a nine-runner race he still makes a fair bit of sense as one of the most solid place candidates. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ocean’s Breath is the win play because he has the most persuasive progressive profile and gets a handy weight pull as a 3yo. Cowardofthecounty is the each-way option, bringing the best official rating and a timely return to form. Zodiac Bear looks the obvious danger after a solid comeback, while Tina’s Indian is capable of getting involved if sharper than last time.

19:20 – Dino Day At Fairyhouse 8th July Handicap
Race Details: 1m 6f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper staying handicap puzzle with 21 runners, plenty arriving from different angles and not much room for sloppy thinking. Night Moon heads the market off a tempting low weight and has the class to feature if returning in the same mood after a break, while Granville Street and Slurricane bring recent enough form to the table and look sure to be popular. Boxing Great is another with a solid profile for this sort of contest, and Harry’s Legacy has the look of one who will keep galloping when others have cried enough. In truth, though, this is not a strong race so much as a wide-open one, and over 1m6f at Fairyhouse the ability to settle, travel and see it out on this ground will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Night Moon – 11/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 42031/ | Rating: 86 | Topspeed:
There is an obvious risk attached to a horse returning from a long absence, but Night Moon makes plenty of appeal in a race like this. He is the highest-rated runner in the field yet sneaks in here with just 131, which immediately makes him interesting, and his old Flat form suggests this trip is very much within range. The Mullins yard hardly needs selling in staying contests and Ben Coen is a positive booking. If he is anywhere near tuned up, 11/2 looks fair rather than short in a handicap lacking depth. He has the class edge and could simply be better than these. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Harry’s Legacy
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: Ross O’Sullivan | Form: /40-32 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 42
Harry’s Legacy appeals as the each-way play because he comes here in better nick than plenty of these and shapes like a horse ready to strike over this sort of trip. His recent form figures of 3 and 2 tell a simple story: he is holding his form well and giving himself a chance, and from 132 he is not harshly treated in a race where several rivals still have a bit to prove. W J Lee is exactly the sort you want in a big-field handicap where positioning matters. He may not have the upside of Night Moon, but he looks a straightforward, reliable each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Night Moon is the win play on class and a handy racing weight, even allowing for the absence. Harry’s Legacy is the sensible each-way alternative in a 21-runner contest with five places on offer, as he arrives with solid recent form and fewer questions than most. Granville Street and Slurricane are the obvious dangers, while Boxing Great also makes some appeal in a race where plenty can be given a squeak.

Tipster Selections
| Tipster | Selection |

| Moorestyle | Zoffman |
19:55 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden
Race Details: 1m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a fairly deep maiden for the grade, with the market understandably centring on the two with the clearest pieces of form, Now Maybe and Mr Ballynonty. The former brings the strongest rating into the race and has already shown plenty in defeat, while the latter shaped like a stayer in the making when third on debut. Behind them, Dreamkeeper and Ma Belle Etoile are the interesting alternatives, the first open to improvement and the second a notable older mare taking on younger rivals. It is not the sort of maiden to get too clever in, but with 17 runners over 1m4f on good to yielding ground, stamina, track position and a bit of know-how in the straight should sort this out.
Top Selections
1. Now Maybe – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 82-36 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 69
She sets the standard on what we know. A mark of 76 is the best on offer here, and her form figures suggest she has been holding her own in stronger maidens than this. That latest sixth does not worry me too much in the context of this race, because she had already shown enough earlier in the campaign and this step up to 1m4f could easily bring out a bit more. Shane Foley is a positive booking and the Harrington yard knows exactly how to place one like this. At 15/8 she is no giveaway, but she is still the most solid option and hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Dreamkeeper – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 65 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 62
Dreamkeeper appeals as the value play if you want something against the obvious pair. He has not been beaten out of sight in two starts, his rating of 68 gives him a realistic chance of getting involved, and this extra yardage looks likely to suit judged on how he has been finishing his races. Colin Keane catching the eye in the saddle only adds to the interest, and Noel Meade is more than capable of bringing one forward sharply with experience. In a big field where plenty have shown very little, 11/2 looks fair for a colt who could improve enough to hit the frame and possibly better. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Now Maybe is the straight win bet because she brings the strongest established form and the best rating to the table. For an each-way punt, Dreamkeeper makes more appeal than most at the prices, especially with Colin Keane booked and the longer trip likely to suit. Mr Ballynonty is the obvious danger after a promising debut, while Ma Belle Etoile is not one to dismiss lightly.

20:30 – Kate O’Sullivan Memorial Handicap
Race Details: 1m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper end-of-card handicap puzzle with 21 runners, plenty arriving with bits of form and not many you could call bombproof. Alto Sax brings the strongest recent winning profile and is understandably near the head of the market after scoring twice in his last four starts, while Patrick Street and Wipeawayyourtears come here off solid recent efforts and look obvious threats. Chopsticks shaped well enough on return to suggest another bold show, and Tassarolo has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front. In a race like this over 1m4f at Fairyhouse, track position, a clean trip and stamina in the final furlong are likely to decide it. It is competitive rather than classy, but there should be value if siding with the right one.
Top Selections
1. Alto Sax – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: Peter Fahey | Form: 001541 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 50
Alto Sax is the one I want on side. He arrives in winning form after bouncing back immediately last time, and that 001541 sequence suggests a horse who has found his level and is thriving rather than one who fluked a result. A mark of 69 asks a question, but not an impossible one, especially with a handy draw in stall 1 and just 132lb to carry. In a race full of inconsistent stayers and exposed handicappers, he at least comes here with momentum and a definite appetite for the job. At 7/2 he is not a giveaway, but he is still the most solid win proposition in the field. Bet: WIN
2. Chopsticks – 15/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Patrick McGettigan | Trainer: John C McConnell | Form: 5120-3 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 40
Chopsticks makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where reliability is in short supply. He returned from a break with a respectable third and that should have blown away the cobwebs. John C McConnell’s runner is on a workable mark of 61, has a decent middle draw in 6, and his older form says this trip is right in his wheelhouse. He does not have the sexy profile of some of the younger legs, but he looks the type to travel into the race and keep finding when others have cried enough. With five places on offer, 15/2 looks a fair each-way punt in a race this open. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Alto Sax is the straightforward win bet because he brings the best recent profile and looks the most likely to run his race. Chopsticks is the each-way alternative at a workable price, especially with five places available. Wipeawayyourtears and Patrick Street are the obvious dangers, while Tassarolo also has enough recent consistency to get involved if things fall right.
