16:50 – BETXS Mares Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This is a typically lively Kilbeggan mares’ maiden with a couple of smart yards holding obvious cards, but it is not quite the straightforward favourite-job the market might suggest. Luciole Des Bordes sets the standard on published hurdles form and her mark of 115 gives her solid credentials, while Belladaball arrives off a bumper win before a disappointing effort and could easily bounce back. Fastnet Crystal is another with the right profile after showing ability in maiden company, and Brave Lady has done enough in two recent runner-up efforts to be firmly on the shortlist. Add in the Mullins newcomer Ivana d’Alco and you have a race with depth at the head of the market, even if plenty of the rest look to be playing for places.
Top Selections
1. Luciole Des Bordes – 3/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Paul Townend | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: /224-5 | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 72
She is the one with the clearest piece of hurdle form in the book and, in a maiden like this, that counts for plenty. Those placed efforts earlier in her campaign read well enough for this level and the opening mark of 115 makes her the standard-setter. The latest fifth was not sparkling, but it came in stronger company than this and I would be far more interested in her back in this grade around a sharp enough 2m. With Paul Townend booked and the Mullins team represented, she is hard to ignore, and 3/1 looks perfectly fair rather than cramped. Bet type: win.
Bet: WIN
2. Brave Lady – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam Ewing | Trainer: Peter Fahey | Form: 30-22 | Rating: | Topspeed:
She makes plenty of each-way appeal after back-to-back runner-up finishes, and there is no mystery about her current wellbeing. Those recent efforts suggest she is learning her job and holding her form, which is more than can be said for a few of these. The 153lb is no issue in this company and Sam Ewing is a positive booking for a stable that does well when its runners find a bit of momentum. At 11/2 she looks a sensible each-way punt in a 17-runner race, especially if the principals get involved in any scrimmaging late on. She may not be the flashiest one in the field, but she is solid. Bet type: each-way.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Luciole Des Bordes is the percentage call for the win bet because she brings the best hurdle form and the most persuasive rating into the race. For a bit of insurance in a big field, Brave Lady is the each-way play after two solid seconds. Fastnet Crystal and Belladaball are the obvious dangers, while Ivana d’Alco is the potential unknown if the market speaks loudly.

17:25 – Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This looks a workable maiden rather than a deep one, and there are several with similar enough profiles to make it a mildly tricky puzzle. Imarajan sets the standard on the figures after returning from a long absence to finish second, while Penny Express brings the strongest stable badge and should be suited by a race of this nature if building on his latest fourth. Hillhead Runner has bits of form that give him a say, but he hasn’t really kicked on, and Chantilly Wings is another who keeps hinting without getting the job done. Codger’s Rock also enters the reckoning after his runner-up effort. In a race where proven resolution over hurdles may matter as much as raw ability, I’d side with the one arriving with the clearest recent promise.
Top Selections
1. Imarajan – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paddy Cody | Trainer: Eoin Doyle | Form: 45/4-2 | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 53
Imarajan looks the solid option. He was absent for a long spell before returning to finish second, and that run suggested there should be a bit more to come now that the cobwebs have been blown away. A mark of 115 is perfectly respectable in this company and, while his Topspeed figure doesn’t scream star quality, this doesn’t look a race packed with improvers. The market has him prominent at 3/1, which feels fair rather than flashy, but he’s the one with the most persuasive recent line of form. If he steps forward as expected from that comeback, he holds strong claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Chantilly Wings – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Carl Millar | Trainer: Cian Collins | Form: 54345- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 100
Chantilly Wings is the each-way angle in a race where plenty have shown enough to be involved without looking bombproof. He’s been consistent if slightly frustrating, but that rating of 117 and a standout Topspeed figure of 100 suggest there’s ability there to exploit in a maiden of this standard. He doesn’t arrive with the sexy profile of an obvious improver, yet he has the look of one who can travel and stick on when others are finding less. At 7/1 with three places on offer, he makes plenty of appeal as an each-way punt, especially if the race turns into a proper test of who can keep at it up the straight.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Imarajan is the win play after that encouraging return to action and looks the most likely horse to improve past this field. For a bit of value, Chantilly Wings makes appeal each-way at 7/1 given his solid rating and reliable enough profile. Penny Express and Hillhead Runner are the obvious dangers if either finds a bit extra, while Codger’s Rock is not one to dismiss lightly.

17:57 – Writech Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This is a proper Kilbeggan handicap with plenty in it and no shortage of recent winners trying to defy new marks. Gameball brings the classiest profile on ratings and topspeed, while Stede Bonnet and Ad Caelum arrive on the back of solid efforts and look sure to be popular. Littlefoot and Paul’s Dream also come here after wins, so there are several with momentum rather than just old handicap form to lean on. The flip side is that a few of these are creeping up the weights, and in an 18-runner field over 2m4f you will need more than raw ability; position, jumping and a bit of patience are likely to decide it. Tricky puzzle, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Gameball – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: 1143- | Rating: 139 | Topspeed: 129
Gameball makes plenty of appeal as the one with the strongest mix of proven ability and scope. A mark of 139 is workable enough in this company and that topspeed figure of 129 stands out in the field. His novice form last season was consistent rather than flashy by the end, but the 1143 sequence suggests he kept knocking on the door in decent races and this opening spin in handicap company could suit. De Bromhead’s runners in these summer jumps races always command respect, and at 5/1 he looks a fair price rather than a cramped one. If he settles and travels, he has the gears to put this to bed late on. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Littlefoot – 15/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Daniel King | Trainer: M A Molloy | Form: 9P15-1 | Rating: 140 | Topspeed: 111
Littlefoot is the each-way angle because he arrives here in form and still looks the type to be competitive despite a deeper race. He returned with a win last time after ending last season on an up-and-down note, and that recent success suggests he is in a much better place now mentally and physically. Off 140 he is not thrown in, but he does get in with a handy racing weight for one who stays this trip and tends to keep finding. Daniel King knows him, and in a race where a few of the market principals could get shuffled back or hit flat spots, Littlefoot looks the sort to keep galloping into the frame. At 15/2, that makes plenty of each-way sense. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Gameball is the win play on class and the strongest speed figure in the race, and this looks a good opening for him in handicaps. Littlefoot is the each-way punt in a big field with five places on offer, especially after scoring last time. Stede Bonnet and Ad Caelum are obvious dangers if the race turns tactical, while Paul’s Dream is respected after back-to-back wins.

18:32 – Kilmurray Group Midlands National Handicap Chase (Listed Race)
Race Details: 3m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This is a proper summer staying chase with depth to it, even if it is not short of risks. Willie Mullins has a strong hand with favourite Uncle Pat and the well-treated Yoradreamer, while Henry De Bromhead counters with Native Speaker, Raglan Road and the mercurial Amirite. Uncle Pat arrives in the best obvious form after a decisive win, but this is a big-field handicap over 3m1f around Kilbeggan, so rhythm, jumping and stamina under pressure will matter every bit as much as class. Raglan Road comes here off a win and still looks on the upgrade, while Native Speaker also revived in style last time. It is a competitive race rather than a banker’s heat, and there should be no shortage of pace on.
Top Selections
1. Raglan Road – 6/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: 671P-1 | Rating: 150 | Topspeed: 137
Raglan Road makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of the market principals have questions to answer. His latest win suggested he is in very good nick, and that Topspeed figure of 137 leaps off the page in this field. The overall profile is not spotless, but plenty of staying chasers look messy on paper and he at least arrives on an upward curve. Off 155lb he is no gift, yet he still looks fairly treated if building on that last run. De Bromhead knows exactly how to place one in these valuable handicap chases, and 6/1 feels a fair working price rather than a cramped one. Bet: WIN
2. Yoradreamer – 7/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Sean O’Keeffe | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 621U-2 | Rating: 153 | Topspeed: 108
Yoradreamer looks the each-way angle in a race where Mullins could easily dominate the finish. He is only seven, so there may still be a bit more to come over staying trips, and his form figures suggest a horse who has been holding his level well in decent company. That runner-up effort on his latest start keeps him firmly in the conversation, and carrying 153lb is less of a concern than it might be for some exposed older rivals because he still has the profile of a progressive sort. At 7/1 with four places on offer, he makes obvious each-way sense. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Raglan Road is the win play at around 6/1 because he arrives with momentum and has one of the standout recent speed figures in the field. Yoradreamer is the sensible each-way punt at 7/1, especially with four places available. Uncle Pat is the danger if backing up his latest success, while Native Speaker is another who would not surprise if following up.

19:07 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase
Race Details: 3m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This looks a fairly informative beginners’ chase rather than a deep one, and the market has probably got the main shape right. Franciscan Rock brings the standout hurdles rating and has been keeping better company than most of these, so his switch to fences is the obvious focal point. Scalpnagoon is the one with the most persuasive recent consistency, though, and he arrives with solid figures and a useful topspeed mark. Orkneys Jack shaped with promise on his latest outing and could be the type to improve again, while Charlie Luciano has a bit to prove despite showing more life last time. The rest need sizeable steps forward, so this feels like a race where basic class and competent jumping are likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Franciscan Rock – 5/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Josh Williamson | Trainer: M F Morris | Form: 49527- | Rating: 138 | Topspeed: 107
On pure ability he sets the standard and, in truth, he ought to. A mark of 138 towers over this field and his hurdle form reads comfortably the best piece of evidence on offer in a race where several arrive with patchy profiles. He was not winning before the break, but he was running respectably enough in stronger races than this and his topspeed figure of 107 backs up the view that he has a fair engine. If he takes to chasing in a straightforward way, these may struggle to live with him. At 5/4 he is no giveaway, but he is still the one they all have to beat.
Bet: WIN
2. Orkneys Jack – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J P Sampson | Trainer: L Young | Form: 0P/0-3 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 83
For an each-way play, Orkneys Jack makes more appeal than some shorter in the market because there was at least a bit of encouragement in that latest third after a pretty uninspiring spell. He is hardly bombproof, but this is only his second run back from a break and there is room for that comeback effort to bring him on. A rating of 119 gives him something to work with in this company, and in an eight-runner beginners’ chase you do not need to be flashy if you jump and stay. Available at 15/2, he looks the value option to nick a place and possibly give the favourite something to think about if building on that last run.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Franciscan Rock is the clear win play because he brings the strongest form and the best rating into a race that lacks depth. For a bit of value, Orkneys Jack is the each-way punt at 15/2 after a more encouraging latest run. Scalpnagoon is the obvious danger on consistency and Charlie Luciano is not dismissed if stepping forward again, but the favourite sets the bar.

19:42 – Larrigy’s Pub Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This is a proper Kilbeggan handicap in the sense that plenty arrive with some sort of chance and very few are bombproof. Georginas Jet and Scathach head the market on recent evidence, while Kentucky Bluebird and Chesterbaylad lurk with the kind of profiles that could easily take a hand if things fall right. Annarubyrose also makes appeal after a couple of solid efforts and Granlahan is unexposed enough to be respected despite that latest unseat. With 19 runners over this trip, position and clean hurdling will matter, and I would much rather side with runners coming here in form than try to revive some of the badly out-of-sorts types lower down the list. Tricky, yes, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Scathach – 9/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Ross O’Sullivan | Form: 06F-83 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 90
Scathach looks the percentage call. He has edged back into form with an 8 and a 3 on his last two starts, and that latest placed effort suggested this mark is workable enough in a race of this nature. A rating of 97 does not leave him overloaded, and his topspeed figure of 90 stacks up well against most of these. Danny Gilligan is a positive booking in a race where a cool ride will count for plenty, and at 9/2 he is not exactly thrown in, but he does arrive with fewer questions than most of his rivals. In a field full of ifs and buts, he makes most appeal.
Bet: WIN
2. Chesterbaylad – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Josh Younge | Trainer: Ms Helen P Markham | Form: 90-027 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 86
Chesterbaylad is the one who makes plenty of each-way sense at the prices. He is not the easiest to catch right, but that second two runs back showed he can be competitive from this sort of mark, and racing off 101 with just 146lb on his back is no bad setup in a race where stamina and balance could come into play late on. The latest seventh was not disastrous enough to put a line through him, and there is enough in his profile to think he can bounce back. At 9/1 with five places on offer, he looks the value each-way punt against shorter, less forgiving options.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Scathach is the win play because he brings the most convincing recent form into a race that does not need overthinking. Chesterbaylad is the each-way alternative at a fairer price, especially with five places available. Georginas Jet is the obvious danger if backing up that recent win, while Annarubyrose and Kentucky Bluebird are two more who should not be far away if producing their best.

20:17 – New Forest Estate & Golf Club Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watered) | | jumps
This is a proper Kilbeggan staying handicap with plenty in with a squeak and, as ever over 3m here, the ability to travel and then actually see it out will matter more than flashy mid-race moves. Island McCoo and Knocknagoran Lady arrive off wins and deserve respect, while Love Like This is another coming here on the back of a success and could still have a bit more to offer at this trip. Down Around sets a fair standard from the top of the weights and rarely runs a shocker, but he does have to concede plenty all round. It’s not a vintage race, though it is a deep and tricky puzzle, and I’d be leaning towards those arriving in form rather than trying to revive some badly out-of-sorts types lower down the list.
Top Selections
1. Island McCoo – 11/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Josh Williamson | Trainer: Donncha Duggan | Form: 88-421 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 94
Island McCoo makes plenty of appeal in a race where solid recent staying form is worth hanging onto. He has turned a corner in his last two starts, building on a runner-up effort with a win last time, and that profile suggests he is thriving rather than merely clinging on to old ability. A mark of 105 still looks workable for a 9yo in this grade, and he gets in here carrying less than some of the other obvious players. At 11/2 he is hardly thrown in, but he looks one of the more straightforward options in a race full of unreliable sorts and holds strong claims if repeating that latest effort. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Georgia Celena – 11/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Dylan Kidd | Trainer: John C McConnell | Form: 3F20-3 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 88
Georgia Celena looks the each-way value in a race where plenty of these have questions to answer. She returned with a respectable third after a break and that run should have teed her up nicely for this deeper test of stamina. John C McConnell’s runners are often well placed in these staying handicaps, and she has the sort of profile that hints at a bold run without needing dramatic improvement. Her mark of 104 is fair enough, she races from a handy weight, and she has shown enough consistency in this sphere to suggest she can get involved if this turns into a proper slog from some way out. Around 11/1, she makes plenty of each-way appeal. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Island McCoo is the win play because he arrives here in the best recent nick and looks well enough treated to follow up. Georgia Celena is the each-way punt at a double-figure price, especially with five places on offer in a 19-runner field. The obvious dangers are Knocknagoran Lady, who is another last-time-out winner, and the dependable topweight Down Around.
