13:32 – Killarney Park 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks an informative juvenile maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has latched onto the obvious pair. Words Unspoken brings the best piece of hurdling form on offer after a debut fourth and his 108 rating sets the standard among those with experience, but he now meets a cluster of well-bred and likely sharp newcomers, headed by Henry De Bromhead’s Cite Florale and the Gavin Cromwell pair Misty Cove and No Bother Aoife. In races like this, raw ability often trumps experience, but Killarney’s jumping test can punish greenness, so that previous run is no small asset. Plenty of the bigger prices look up against it on what we know, making this a race where the winner should come from the front end of the market, even if the exact pecking order is less straightforward.
Top Selections
1. Words Unspoken – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Phillip Enright | Trainer: S Curling | Form: 4 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed:
He sets the form standard and, in a race packed with unknown quantities, that counts for plenty. A debut fourth in this sphere is easily the most solid hurdle evidence on show and an opening mark of 108 gives him something tangible for the others to aim at. He should know much more about the job this time, which is often crucial in juvenile events where slick jumping can win the day. Phillip Enright is a positive booking and, at 11/4 with Bet365, he makes a fair bit of appeal against short-priced debutantes who still have to prove they can do it under pressure. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Misty Cove – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Conor Stone-Walsh | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Of the unexposed runners, she makes plenty of each-way appeal for a yard that knows exactly how to place juveniles. Gavin Cromwell runs two, but Misty Cove is the one the market seems to prefer and that is usually worth noting from this stable. She gets the handy 147 weight as a filly and doesn’t need to be a star to hit the frame in a 12-runner maiden where several look here for experience. At 9/2 with Bet365, she’s not some wild outsider, but she still looks the percentage play each-way behind the proven favourite if ready to do herself justice first time over timber. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Words Unspoken is the sensible win play because he has already shown a level over hurdles the others must match. For an each-way punt, Misty Cove appeals most as the likely best of the newcomers and she has the right stable behind her. The obvious danger is Cite Florale, who is hard to dismiss given the De Bromhead angle and strong market position.

14:02 – Killarney Grand Mares Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a competitive mares’ maiden on paper, but the market has sensibly latched on to a relatively short list. Tumbling In brings the standout rating of 130 and has already shaped like a mare ready to win one of these, while Mysilverriverfeale arrives with solid recent placed form and the best Topspeed figure in the field. Chisel Hill is another improving 5yo with obvious each-way appeal after finishing second last time, and Pets Georgina comes here off a confidence-boosting success. Some Pretender is the interesting Mullins runner, though she has had enough chances now. In truth, the strength looks concentrated among the principals rather than spread through the whole 15, and this feels more about backing the right progressive mare than unearthing a wild outsider.
Top Selections
1. Tumbling In – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: G B Noonan | Trainer: E McNamara | Form: 43-3 | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 101
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of the obvious ones are either fully exposed or coming out of weaker contests. Tumbling In has done very little wrong in three starts, and that opening mark of 130 tells you exactly how well she has been shaping. Her latest third suggested this sort of trip is well within range, and there is every chance she still has more to offer as a 5yo. McNamara’s mare sets the standard on the figures and, available at 4/1, she looks the one with the best blend of substance and upside. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Chisel Hill – 4/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Sam Ewing | Trainer: Ian Patrick Donoghue | Form: 6-42 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 44
Chisel Hill doesn’t have the flashy profile of the favourite, but she does look a very solid each-way play in a race with three places on offer. The form figures show steady progress, and that latest second confirmed she is learning her job and staying well enough to be a factor over this sort of distance. She gets in here as a 5yo with 153lb and still has scope to find a chunk of improvement. Sam Ewing is a positive booking and, at 4/1, she appeals as the sensible alternative if Tumbling In proves too strong. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Tumbling In is the win play because she owns the best rating in the field and looks the most likely improver. Chisel Hill is the each-way option for those wanting a bit of insurance, with her upward curve making her a reliable place candidate. Mysilverriverfeale is the obvious danger, while Pets Georgina and Some Pretender also need respecting in a race that is competitive at the head of the market.

14:32 – Lee Strand Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 6f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper summer handicap hurdle: big field, compressed weights and no shortage of plausible angles. Warriors Wood and Jacovec Cavern head the market for obvious reasons after solid recent efforts, while My Gaffer arrives with a good topspeed figure and looks well enough treated if building on his latest run. Burru is another with a low weight and some punch if forgiving his last start, and Thornleigh Frank shaped well enough on his return to suggest there is more to come. The problem for punters is that plenty of these are capable on their day but come with a quirk or two, whether that is inconsistency, jumping errors or a patchy recent profile. Tricky, yes, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Warriors Wood – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Brian Hayes | Trainer: Andrew McNamara | Form: 4U-213 | Rating: 131 | Topspeed:
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with solid, straightforward momentum. A 6yo on the upgrade, Warriors Wood has already won this term and backed that up with a respectable third last time, so his profile is much cleaner than most of these. He gets in here off 152, which looks workable enough, and there is a fair chance this 2m6f trip draws out a bit more improvement. Brian Hayes is a reliable booking for this sort of assignment and, at 5/1, he looks the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Thornleigh Frank – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Cian Collins | Form: 9/69-3 | Rating: 125 | Topspeed: 120
Thornleigh Frank is the each-way play because his mark of 125 gives him room to manoeuvre and his comeback third hinted that he is ready to strike. That was his first run after a break and it came after a light campaign, so there is every chance he can step forward from it now. The topspeed figure of 120 says he still retains a fair level of ability, and in a race full of exposed or unreliable types, his upside is attractive. Danny Gilligan knows how to deliver one late in these rough-and-tumble handicaps, and 7/1 looks perfectly fair for a horse who should be finishing off strongly. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Warriors Wood is the win bet because he brings the strongest recent profile and still has scope as a 6yo. Thornleigh Frank is the each-way option with five places on offer, as his return suggested he is well capable of outrunning his price. The obvious dangers are Jacovec Cavern, who has been admirably consistent, and My Gaffer, who is weighted to be a factor again.

15:07 – BOYLE Sports Daily Money Back Meeting Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This is a tight little handicap chase with plenty of familiar, battle-hardened names and not much margin for error. Jasko Des Dames heads the market for the De Bromhead yard and is an obvious player on ratings, but he does have to concede weight all round in a race where several arrive with more obvious momentum. Mic Drop is the progressive one after back-to-back wins and still looks ahead of the assessor despite another rise, while Femme Magnifique has been running like a mare ready to strike again and gets in here with a handy racing weight. Gaelic Arc also comes here in good nick and adds depth to a contest that feels competitive rather than classy. In short, it is a tricky puzzle, but not an impossible one.
Top Selections
1. Mic Drop – 4/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Michael Kenneally | Trainer: David M O’Brien | Form: 065-11 | Rating: 141 | Topspeed: 119
Mic Drop is the one I want on side because he is the only runner in here arriving with the profile of a proper improver. Two wins on the spin tell their own story, and while a mark of 141 asks a stiffer question, he is carrying just 140 and still looks like a horse going the right way rather than one exposed to the hilt. This sharper trip should be no issue around Killarney and there is a fair chance he has a bit more in hand than the bare figures suggest. At 4/1, he makes plenty of appeal against older rivals who have shown more of their hand. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Femme Magnifique – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Cian Quirke | Trainer: David Harry Kelly | Form: 673-12 | Rating: 145 | Topspeed: 123
Femme Magnifique looks the solid each-way angle in a race where a few of these can blow hot and cold. Her recent 1-2 figures are strong for this level, and she shaped last time like a mare still in form rather than one about to regress. The 140 weight is a major plus in this company, especially with some of the more obvious dangers lumbered with bigger burdens, and she has the sort of consistency that often pays in races of this nature. She may not have the upside of Mic Drop, but at 9/2 she looks a sensible each-way punt with conditions unlikely to catch her out. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Mic Drop is the win play, as he is the progressive chaser in the field and may still be ahead of the handicapper. Femme Magnifique is the each-way option with three places on offer, bringing solid recent form and a workable weight. Jasko Des Dames is the obvious danger on class, while Gaelic Arc also has claims if building on his latest second.

15:42 – Lee Strand Novice Chase
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a tight little novice chase rather than a deep one, with the market understandably centred on Shadow Paddy, Net Boy and Endless Talking. Shadow Paddy brings the highest rating into it and arrives off a win, but he is plenty short enough in a race where two others are still going the right way over fences. Net Boy made a smart start in this sphere and his profile suggests there could be more to come, while Endless Talking has quietly built momentum with back-to-back wins and doesn’t look finished improving yet. The remainder have a fair bit to find on the figures and recent form. In truth, this feels more like a three-runner argument than a seven-runner puzzle, and value could decide where to side.
Top Selections
1. Net Boy – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mark Walsh | Trainer: Barry Connell | Form: /12U-1 | Rating: 142 | Topspeed: 118
Net Boy appeals most because he brings a proper blend of class and untapped chasing potential. That rating of 142 puts him right in the thick of it, and the topspeed figure of 118 is the best on offer here as well. His latest win suggests he got back on track immediately after that mishap, and Barry Connell’s runners in this sort of novice company are rarely overfaced. Mark Walsh is an obvious asset in a race that could get tactical. At 2/1, he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still makes more appeal than the shorter-priced favourite on the balance of proven ability and scope. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Endless Talking – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Keith Donoghue | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: 843-11 | Rating: 131 | Topspeed: 115
Endless Talking is the each-way angle in a race where the front three dominate, and he is easy to warm to after successive wins. Gavin Cromwell has done a fine job with plenty of these progressive jumpers, and Keith Donoghue is exactly the rider you want aboard one who seems to be learning on the job. His official mark of 131 leaves him with a bit to find on strict ratings, but the recent upward curve is obvious and his topspeed figure says he is not out of place at all. In a seven-runner field with two places on offer, 5/2 is hardly huge, but he looks the solid alternative if one of the market principals underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Net Boy is the straight win play, as he has the strongest overall profile and still looks open to further improvement over fences. Endless Talking is the each-way option in a race that drops away quickly beyond the main trio. Shadow Paddy is the obvious danger on ratings and recent form, but at the prices he looks one to take on rather than build around.

16:17 – Europe Hotel And Resort Handicap Chase (Div I)
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a proper summer handicap chase puzzle rather than a race to get carried away with, and the market reflects that. Tippin And Tappin is respected after back-to-back wins before disappointing last time, while Love Like This arrives in solid nick and Mobile Mamma has the profile of one who could still have a bit more to offer. Lecale’s Diamond comes here off a win and is another with obvious claims, but this big field over nearly 3m around Killarney should place the emphasis on accurate jumping and conserving enough for the long way home. Malton Groove and Tropical Image also bring workable recent form, so there are no shortage of live players. It feels the sort of contest where a well-treated runner with momentum can trump pure class.
Top Selections
1. Love Like This – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel King | Trainer: John Patrick Ryan | Form: 205314 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed:
Love Like This makes plenty of appeal in a race where a lot of these have questions attached. She has been running consistently well, winning three starts back and backing that up with a respectable fourth off the same mark range, so there is no need to second-guess her current wellbeing. A rating of 106 looks fair rather than harsh in this company, and John Patrick Ryan knows exactly how to place one in these competitive staying handicaps. At 5/1 she is not hiding from the assessor or the market, but she still looks the most solid option if reproducing her recent level. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Malton Groove – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Patrick M O’Brien | Trainer: Dermot A McLoughlin | Form: PP-723 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 103
Malton Groove is the each-way angle because his recent figures suggest he is building towards a deserved success. After a couple of poor efforts, he has bounced back with a second and a third, and that Topspeed figure of 103 jumps out in the context of this race. He is clearly in better heart now, and carrying 151 leaves him with a realistic chance of being involved if this turns into the usual Killarney stamina test late on. Dermot A McLoughlin’s runner is available at 10/1, which looks fair for one arriving with proven recent competitiveness and a profile that screams place claims at the very least. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Love Like This is the percentage call for the win bet because she brings the cleanest recent profile into a race full of ifs and buts. Malton Groove makes more appeal as the each-way punt at double-figure odds, especially with four places on offer. The obvious dangers are Tippin And Tappin if forgiving that latest flop, plus Lecale’s Diamond and Mobile Mamma.

16:52 – Europe Hotel And Resort Handicap Chase (Div II)
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a proper summer handicap chase puzzle rather than a race packed with reliable types, and in a field of 18 that usually means siding with horses arriving in form rather than trying to revive out-of-sorts old hands. Oogum Boogum and Kilkee Bay head the market after solid recent efforts, while Embrace The Day comes here on the back of a win for Gavin Cromwell and is clearly respected despite a big weight. Cullenwaine has been knocking on the door and looks the sort to run his race again from a handy low weight, while The Border Boy is another with place claims if building on his latest fourth. Plenty of these have patchy profiles, so this feels more about current momentum and jumping fluency than raw class.
Top Selections
1. Oogum Boogum – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Fitzgerald | Trainer: David Kenneth Budds | Form: 3P-132 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed:
He is the obvious starting point because, unlike plenty in here, he is actually running well and doing it consistently. That form line of 3P-132 tells its own story: barring one blip, he has been competitive time and again, and the latest second suggests he is still very much on the boil. A mark of 103 looks workable in this company and this 2m7f trip should hold no fears. In a race full of ifs and buts, Oogum Boogum brings the most convincing recent profile and at 5/2 with Bet365 he is short enough, but still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
2. Cullenwaine – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane O’Callaghan | Trainer: David O’Sullivan | Form: 02-254 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 47
Cullenwaine makes plenty of each-way appeal because he has been holding his form well without getting the rub of the green. The sequence of 02-254 suggests a horse who keeps putting himself in the argument, and racing off just 143 leaves him attractively weighted in a race where several of the principals are carrying more. He does not have the sexy profile of the obvious market leaders, but these staying handicap chases often go to the one who keeps galloping and jumps soundly. At 8/1 with Bet365, he looks the value play to hit the frame and possibly do better if the favourite underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Oogum Boogum is the win play because he brings the strongest current form into an unreliable race. Cullenwaine is the each-way punt at the prices, with four places on offer making plenty of sense in a field this deep. Embrace The Day and Kilkee Bay are the obvious dangers, while The Border Boy could outrun his odds again.

17:25 – Christy Lucey Transport Mares Finale (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to yielding in places (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a useful mares’ bumper for the grade, even if it revolves around a handful with obvious appeal. Land Me Safe arrives unbeaten after making a winning start and is the one the market has latched on to, while Killeedy represents the Mullins yard on debut and is respected on that basis alone. Goodgollymissholly brings the most solid exposed profile after getting off the mark last time, and Echoes Of Jane has already shown enough ability to suggest she can be competitive in this company. The rest either need major improvement or are complete unknowns. In truth, it is not a race packed with depth, but the presence of two smart yards and a couple of progressive mares makes it a slightly tricky puzzle rather than a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Land Me Safe – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J L Gleeson | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien | Form: 1 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed:
An unbeaten mare from a yard that knows exactly how to place these types, Land Me Safe sets the standard on what we’ve seen on the track. A rating of 113 after just one run tells its own story and, in a race where several of her main rivals are either debutantes or still learning, that experience matters. She does not have bundles in hand on the figures with Goodgollymissholly, but she has the profile of one who can improve again from her first outing. At 11/8 she is no giveaway, but she is the percentage call and looks the one most likely to handle the occasion and get the job done. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Echoes Of Jane – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Finian Maguire | Trainer: Eugene M O’Sullivan | Form: 3 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 86
Echoes Of Jane makes plenty of each-way appeal in a field where a lot of runners have little or nothing on paper. She shaped with promise when third on debut, and the bare numbers are quite interesting: a 110 rating and topspeed of 86 stack up well enough in the context of this race. That suggests there was substance to the effort rather than it being a flattering placing in a weak contest. She still has to find improvement to beat the principals, but at 9/1 she looks a much more interesting each-way punt than some of the shorter ones, especially if this turns into a test of professionalism late on. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Land Me Safe is the win play because she has already done it on the track and still looks open to progress. Echoes Of Jane is the each-way alternative at a much bigger price, with her debut third giving her a solid place chance. Killeedy is the obvious danger on stable reputation, while Goodgollymissholly has enough form to be in the shake-up again.
