17:02 – Wexfordraces.ie Beginners Chase
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a pretty decent beginners’ chase for the grade, with the market understandably centred on Kilgame and Karoline Banbou, two lightly-raced types from powerhouse yards who should be well suited by this sharp enough 2m test. Farfromnowhere brings the best published rating into it and gets weight, so he adds a bit of substance, while Glenashling has been knocking on the door and isn’t easily dismissed if he takes to fences straight away. There are a few with patchier profiles, but this doesn’t look the sort of race you want to get too clever in. The principals have stronger hurdle form than most of these and, unless one of the outsiders improves dramatically for a fence, it should be decided by which of the market leaders jumps with most fluency first time over the larger obstacles.
Top Selections
1. Karoline Banbou – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 7/22F- | Rating: 139 | Topspeed: 99
She makes plenty of appeal. Karoline Banbou had already shaped like a mare of useful ability over hurdles before coming down on her latest start, and her pair of seconds beforehand reads well enough in the context of a race like this. Mullins doesn’t need much introducing at this venue and it is notable enough that Harry Cobden is on board. The 6yo gets the mares’ allowance, which is no small thing in a beginners’ chase, and her mark of 139 gives her a very solid platform if she takes to fences as expected. At 2/1, she is not hiding, but she still looks the one they all have to beat. End product matters here, and she has the class edge.
Bet: WIN
2. Glenashling – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Keith Donoghue | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: 42552- | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 106
If you want something at a price against the obvious pair, Glenashling is the each-way angle. He’s been admirably consistent, finishing runner-up on his final start of last season, and while his hurdle form doesn’t quite scream future star, it does suggest he’ll be competitive in this company if his fencing is sound. Cromwell’s horses are rarely sent out undercooked and Keith Donoghue is a positive booking in a race where accurate jumping will count for plenty. The rating of 124 leaves him with a bit to find on paper, but this is a beginners’ chase, not a polished handicap, and 12/1 looks fair for a horse with his profile and attitude.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Danger: Kilgame is the obvious threat after ending last season with a win and could easily be the one if taking immediately to fences.
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple. Karoline Banbou is the win play because she brings the strongest blend of class, allowance and stable confidence to the table. Glenashling makes more appeal than most for an each-way punt in a 12-runner race with three places on offer, especially if the front end gets a bit messy over fences. Kilgame is the danger you have to respect most.

17:35 – Visitwexford.ie Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a proper Wexford handicap chase rather than a race to get carried away with, and there are a few with solid enough claims without any of them looking bombproof. Courtbrack Boy brings the strongest recent profile and his topspeed figure of 112 catches the eye in a race where that could matter over this sharp 2m. Let Him B is lightly raced over fences and open to more after a promising second on his return, while Soldante has the right sort of profile for this grade and is easy to see in the mix. In The Trenches has the class to get involved if sharpening up, and Midnight Moonshine was going well enough before falling last time. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Courtbrack Boy – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: John Shinnick | Trainer: Terence O’Brien | Form: 02142- | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 112
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where recent chase form counts for a lot. Courtbrack Boy signed off with a second after a string of solid efforts, and that profile reads like one of a horse holding his mark rather than one the handicapper has got hold of. A mark of 114 looks workable, and that 112 topspeed figure is one of the standout numbers in the line-up. He is only six, so there could still be another step forward in him, and in a race lacking a really obvious blot, the one available at 7/2 looks the most straightforward answer. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Let Him B – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Philip Byrnes | Trainer: C Byrnes | Form: 59/12- | Rating: | Topspeed:
He is the interesting alternative because he has fewer miles on the clock than most of these and his profile hints at more to come. Let Him B returned from a long absence to win and then followed up with a good second, which is exactly the sort of progression you want to see in a race like this. C Byrnes does not waste bullets in these handicaps, and Philip Byrnes is a positive booking. The slight concern is that he lacks the hard evidence over fences some of these have, but at 9/2 he still makes appeal as the one with upside in a field full of exposed types. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Courtbrack Boy is the win play given his solid recent chase record, workable mark and strong speed figure for the grade. Let Him B is the each-way option because he is less exposed than most and still has room to progress. The obvious dangers are Soldante, who should be competitive off 114, and Midnight Moonshine if bouncing back from that latest fall.

18:08 – Wexford Town Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper little handicap chase rather than a penalty kick, with a few arriving from different angles and the market not short of plausible cases. Come On The Lads and Kilbrin Rocco bring winning form into it and are obvious starting points, while Trasna Na Pairce looks the type to be competitive again if building on his runner-up effort before a lesser run. Crowsatedappletart is another who can get involved from this sort of mark, and An Peann Dearg has the class to matter if bouncing back. The shape of the race may well be decided by who handles the 2m trip best off their current mark, because several of these are tightly packed on ratings. It looks a tricky enough puzzle, but not an impossible one.
Top Selections
1. Kilbrin Rocco – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: G B Noonan | Trainer: Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Form: 21951- | Rating: 128 | Topspeed: 116
He makes plenty of appeal at the foot of the weights after ending last season with a win, and a mark of 128 still looks workable in a race where a few of the principals are carrying plenty more. That recent profile is straightforwardly solid, and unlike some of these you can argue he is still going the right way as a 7yo. In a 2m chase around Wexford, getting a low racing weight can be a real help if the pace lifts from some way out, and 4/1 looks fair rather than cramped. He is not bombproof in a competitive handicap, but he is the one I’d want on my side most. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Trasna Na Pairce – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mike O’Connor | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: 54420- | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 112
There is enough in his recent form to think he can outrun his price, especially the second-place effort two starts back which reads well in the context of this race. The final run of last season was less convincing, but that also means he comes here without the market getting too carried away. Off 130, he is not obviously thrown in, yet he sits in a sensible part of the handicap and represents a yard you would always respect in this sphere. At 6/1 he makes obvious each-way sense in a 10-runner race with three places on offer, particularly if he can travel into this as smoothly as he did on his better efforts. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kilbrin Rocco is the win play, mainly because he comes here with momentum and a very attractive racing weight in a tightly knit handicap. Trasna Na Pairce is the each-way alternative at a backable price and looks solid enough to hit the frame if returning to his better form. The obvious dangers are Come On The Lads, who is hard to dismiss after winning last time, and Crowsatedappletart at a workable each-way quote.

18:38 – Purple And Gold Beginners Chase
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly thin beginners’ chase on paper and, truthfully, it revolves around whether Hiddenvalley Lake can translate his better hurdles form to fences at the first time of asking. Henry De Bromhead’s 9yo sets the standard on what he has achieved in stronger company and it’s no surprise he dominates the market. The opposition is hardly bombproof either. Eclipse Chaser comes from the Mullins yard and could improve for a fence, but his finishing efforts tailed off badly at the back end of last season. Long Branch has at least shown some consistency in lesser company, while American Jukebox and One Big Boum need to find more than a little. It’s not a deep race, but there is still an each-way angle against the obvious favourite.
Top Selections
1. Hiddenvalley Lake – 8/11 with Bet365
Jockey: Keith Donoghue | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: 19/55- | Rating: | Topspeed:
Hiddenvalley Lake is the one with the class edge and he’s very hard to oppose in a race of this nature. He hasn’t been seen over fences yet, but his hurdle form gives him a clear platform and this 2m7f trip should be right in his wheelhouse. The profile is not spotless, granted, but he has been keeping better company than most of these and De Bromhead rarely sends one chasing over a staying trip at Wexford without expecting a proper show. At 8/11 he is no giveaway, but in a six-runner race lacking depth he looks the percentage call to make a winning start over the larger obstacles. Bet: WIN
2. Long Branch – 11/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: J J Slevin | Trainer: Seamus Neville | Form: 13U24- | Rating: | Topspeed:
Long Branch appeals as the each-way play because, unlike a few of these, he arrives with a bit of honest recent form and at least looks likely to run his race. The 6yo wasn’t disgraced when fourth on his latest outing and his overall profile suggests this sort of staying test can suit. He still has to prove he’s up to beating the favourite, but that is true of the entire field, and 11/1 with Paddy Power looks a touch disrespectful in a race where several rivals have much shakier recent efforts beside their name. With J J Slevin booked, he makes plenty of appeal as the one to nick second if the market leader does what’s expected. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here. Hiddenvalley Lake is the win play because he has the strongest overall form and this does not look a demanding beginners’ chase. For an each-way punt, Long Branch makes more sense than the flashier but less reliable alternatives. Eclipse Chaser is the obvious danger if taking to fences, but his profile comes with enough risk to leave him alone at the prices.

19:08 – Buy Tickets Online Novice Hunters Chase
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a fairly intriguing little hunters’ novice rather than a deep one, and the market looks to have it about right with Kiwi de Cotte, Thehandsomecharmer and Black Dakota dominating the discussion. Tiffiny’s Girl is one of the few with a recent winning effort on the page and gets a handy 2lb from the geldings, so she has to be taken seriously as well. Beyond that, plenty arrive with either very thin rules form or questions to answer, which makes it a race where basic jumping and stamina over this near-3m trip could prove decisive. On balance, I’d rather side with the unexposed types than the exposed ones, because this doesn’t look a contest where a big established figure is needed. It’s a tricky enough puzzle, but not an impossible one to solve.
Top Selections
1. Kiwi de Cotte – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J W Hendrick | Trainer: Denis Paul Murphy | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Kiwi de Cotte makes most appeal in a race where potential may count for more than established figures. He’s a 6yo in a line-up lacking depth, and the market support is easy enough to understand because several of these have shown only modest rules form or arrive after absences. At 11/4, he doesn’t look wildly overpriced, but he does look the most likely winner if coping with the test and jumping soundly throughout. In this sort of novice hunters’ chase, I’m happy to side with the horse who could still have a fair bit up his sleeve rather than one whose limitations are already more visible. Bet: WIN
2. Tiffiny’s Girl
Jockey: Mr J C Barry | Trainer: W J Burke | Form: 34/81- | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 17
Tiffiny’s Girl is the each-way alternative because, unlike quite a few of these, she has actually put a recent win on the board and her 111 rating gives her a solid look in the context of this race. That form string suggests she stepped forward markedly last time, and while this is a different test, the 2m7f trip on good to yielding ground should not be beyond her if she settles and jumps with fluency. W J Burke’s mare gets a useful weight allowance and doesn’t need to improve much to get into the first three. In a race where some of the fashionable ones are short enough on trust, she makes plenty of each-way sense. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kiwi de Cotte is the straight win play in a race that may not take much winning if he proves as capable as the market expects. Tiffiny’s Girl is the sensible each-way punt with three places on offer, thanks to her recent win and solid rating. Thehandsomecharmer and Black Dakota are the obvious dangers if they’re as useful as the betting implies.

19:38 – Slaney Mares Point-To-Point INH Flat Race
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This mares’ bumper revolves around a cluster of unexposed point recruits, which makes it interesting but not especially straightforward. Wilton Mills Trier sets the standard on the figures after shaping with promise when third and her 107 rating gives her a solid platform in a race where most of these arrive with little or no rules evidence. That said, several of the newcomers come from yards that know exactly what is required in this sphere, notably Colin Bowe with Dedudefromhouston and Robert Tyner with One Day In May. Silent Temptation and Five Shiros are also prominent in the market, so there is no shortage of likely types. It looks a decent enough contest for the grade, but one where proven ability under rules can still count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Wilton Mills Trier – 11/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Mr L J Murphy | Trainer: Paul Martin Pierce | Form: 3- | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 13
She is the one runner with a proper piece of rules form to bring to the table and, in a race full of educated guesses, that matters. That third-place finish gives Wilton Mills Trier the strongest profile here, and her 107 rating is comfortably the best on offer. This is not a case of latching onto the obvious for the sake of it either; she has already shown she can handle race conditions and see out the job in public. At around 11/4, she is not being given away, but she still makes most appeal because she sets the standard and does not need to improve dramatically to win a race like this. Bet: WIN
2. Dedudefromhouston – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr B Finn | Trainer: Colin Bowe | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Colin Bowe runners in these contests are rarely here for the scenery, and Dedudefromhouston is the one who makes most each-way appeal against the favourite. She is a five-year-old from a yard that excels with this type, and the market has her on the right side of respect without making her prohibitively short. In a race where several of the dangers are similarly unexposed, 6/1 looks fair for one likely to know her job first time under rules. If Wilton Mills Trier proves too streetwise, Dedudefromhouston still looks the sort to hit the frame and possibly give the jolly most to think about. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Wilton Mills Trier is the percentage call and makes plenty of sense as the win bet because she has the strongest established form in the field. For an each-way punt, Dedudefromhouston appeals most from a powerful source of bumper types and looks solid value at 6/1. The main dangers are the other well-fancied newcomers, especially One Day In May and Silent Temptation.

20:08 – Racing Again 16th May (C & G) Point-To-Point INH Flat Race
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly interesting closing bumper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably concentrating on the unexposed 4yos Fortysixnchange and The Farmers Bar. Gordon Elliott’s newcomer Fortysixnchange gets the age allowance and that alone makes him an obvious starting point in a race where several of the older horses arrive with little solid evidence behind them. Coolnav is the only runner with bumper form in the book, but his 78- leaves him looking vulnerable to better types. Jetaway Mountain and Majestic Horizon are respected at workable prices, while Brootally is another who could easily know his job first time. It’s a race where stable strength and potential may count for more than hard form, so there’s a bit of guesswork involved.
Top Selections
1. Fortysixnchange – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J M Halford | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
You do not need to get too clever here. Fortysixnchange represents the Elliott yard, receives 6lb from the older brigade as a 4yo, and has been installed favourite for good reason. In these late-season bumpers, that combination of a major stable and a weight concession often proves decisive, especially when plenty of rivals are similarly unproven. The market has him at 9/4 across the board and that feels fair rather than cramped in a race lacking any standout established standard. If he has the usual level of know-how expected from this yard, he should take plenty of beating. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jetaway Mountain – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J P O’Rourke | Trainer: C A Murphy | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
For an each-way angle, Jetaway Mountain makes more appeal than some of the shorter alternatives. He is one of the better-fancied 5yos, and at 4/1 he sits in that useful bracket where you are not paying favourite’s tax but still siding with a horse the market expects to run well. Coolnav’s bare bumper form is only modest, while a few others are complete unknowns, so this one does not need to be a star to hit the frame. In a race that could turn tactical and messy, he looks the type to be thereabouts if possessing even average ability first time up. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fortysixnchange is the straightforward win play and the one with the clearest profile, given the Elliott factor and the 4yo allowance. For those wanting a bit more insurance in an 8-runner race paying three places, Jetaway Mountain appeals as the each-way punt. The obvious dangers are The Farmers Bar and Majestic Horizon, while Brootally is not one to dismiss if strong in the betting.
