16:42 – Wexford Claiming Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This looks a pretty ordinary claiming hurdle on paper, but there is a workable shape to it. Redwood Queen and Oh So Charming are the two that jump out immediately on ratings, and both are dropping into a race where plenty of these arrive with questions to answer. War Correspondent has bits of solid handicap form and is entitled to be in the mix, while Hasten Slowly is not impossible if bouncing back from a lesser effort. The trouble with a few of the others is obvious: poor recent form, long absences or simply not enough evidence that they retain the ability to win even a race of this standard. In a contest lacking depth, the one carrying the least baggage may well come out on top.
Top Selections
1. Oh So Charming – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kevin Healy | Trainer: Declan Queally | Form: 4644-5 | Rating: 134 | Topspeed: 101
She makes plenty of appeal in this company. A mark of 134 puts her right near the top of the pile and, crucially, she gets in here off just 146lb, which looks a major edge in a claimer where some of her chief rivals shoulder plenty more. Her recent form figures do not scream certainty, but they do suggest reliability at a better level than this, and that counts for a lot in a race where several arrive badly out of sorts. Declan Queally’s mare should be able to travel well over this trip, and 7/2 is fair enough for one who looks to have the strongest all-round profile. Bet: WIN
2. Hasten Slowly – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Dylan Kidd | Trainer: John C McConnell | Form: P4616- | Rating: 128 | Topspeed: 107
He is not the easiest horse to trust, but this is the sort of race where inconsistency can be forgiven if the upside is there. That win two starts back shows he still has a race in him, and his 128 rating gives him a realistic shout if he turns up in the same mood. John C McConnell does well placing these types, and this does not look an especially deep claimer by any stretch. At 15/2, he appeals more as a solid each-way play than a win-only proposition, especially with a few obvious non-stayers and out-of-form rivals in opposition. He would not need to improve much to hit the frame. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Oh So Charming is the percentage call and looks the one to side with for the win, particularly given her attractive weight against the main market principals. Hasten Slowly is the each-way alternative at a bigger price in a race where the overall standard is shaky. Redwood Queen is the obvious danger on raw ability, while War Correspondent is respected if building on his latest run.

17:12 – Botanica International Rated Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is a smart little rated hurdle for the grade and not one to treat lightly. Colcannon brings the standout recent profile and a mark of 137, so it is easy to see why he heads the market, but he is giving weight away all round and that always sharpens the contest over this trip at Wexford. Time Is A Thief is unexposed after only two hurdle starts and could easily have more to offer for Henry de Bromhead, while Berto Ramirez is a fascinating 4yo getting plenty of weight after winning last time. Moon Mission also arrives in form and is not dismissed. It is a competitive race rather than a penalty kick, with class against potential the central theme.
Top Selections
1. Colcannon – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Donagh Meyler | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 26415- | Rating: 137 | Topspeed: 128
Colcannon sets the standard on what he achieved last season and, in truth, his profile is the most solid in the field. That topspeed figure of 128 leaps off the page in this company and his 137 rating leaves him clear of most of these on established hurdle form. Noel Meade’s 6yo ended last campaign with a win before a perfectly respectable effort in stronger company, and this looks a more manageable assignment. There is no giveaway in a price of 2/1, especially with 163lb on his back, but he has the class edge and is the one they all have to beat if reproducing his best. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Berto Ramirez – 11/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Brian Hayes | Trainer: Andrew McNamara | Form: 5740-1 | Rating: 137 | Topspeed: 109
Berto Ramirez makes plenty of each-way appeal at double-figure odds because he is the interesting lurker in the race. He is only a 4yo, so there could be a lot more to come, and that latest win suggests he is beginning to put things together after a mixed spell beforehand. The key here is the weight: he gets lumps from the older, more exposed principals, and in a rated hurdle that matters. A mark of 137 says he is no back number on ability either, while Brian Hayes is a positive booking for a horse who may still be learning. At 11/1, he looks the value play against the obvious favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Colcannon is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet because he brings the strongest established form and the best speed figure. For a bit of value, Berto Ramirez is the each-way punt with his low weight and scope for improvement. Time Is A Thief is the obvious danger if taking another step forward, while Moon Mission is solid enough for shortlist purposes.

17:47 – Treo Eile Handicap Hurdle (Div I)
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is a typically knotty Wexford handicap with 17 runners and plenty of them arriving with bits and pieces of form rather than rock-solid profiles. Grey Gardens makes obvious appeal after a fair comeback third and looks the one with the most straightforward claims, while Demanding Gerry has been threatening to win one of these for a while and is dangerously well treated off 153. Poppycon also enters the reckoning after some respectable efforts in similar company, though that latest fall is hardly ideal, and Walk On Annilog shaped well enough on return to suggest there could be more to come. It is not a deep race in quality, but it is a tricky betting heat all the same, with a few lurkers at bigger prices if the market leaders fluff their lines.
Top Selections
1. Grey Gardens – 10/3 with William Hill
Jockey: Alan O’Sullivan | Trainer: Paul Nolan | Form: /830-3 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 95
Grey Gardens looks the percentage call. That return to action when finishing third suggested she is ready to strike, and for a 5yo with relatively unexposed handicap form, a mark of 99 still gives her room to manoeuvre. The Topspeed figure of 95 is a solid one in the context of this race and, unlike plenty of these, she arrives with a recent run under her belt and no obvious excuses required. Paul Nolan’s runner should be suited by this trip and ground, and while 10/3 is hardly stealing money, she is the one who makes most appeal if running to that latest level again. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Demanding Gerry – 6/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Conor Smithers | Trainer: James Andrew Fahey | Form: 52220- | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 93
Demanding Gerry is the each-way angle because his profile screams “one of these days”. He signed off last season with a string of placed efforts, including several seconds, and that sort of consistency counts for plenty in a race where many of his rivals are either regressive or hard to trust. He is near the foot of the weights despite a rating of 104, which immediately makes him interesting, and his 93 Topspeed says he has the engine for a race of this nature. At 6/1 with four places on offer, he looks a sensible each-way punt and very likely to be on the premises if tuned up after the break. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Grey Gardens is the win play after shaping like a mare ready to cash in next time, and she has the cleanest profile in the field. Demanding Gerry is the each-way alternative because he keeps knocking on the door and this mark gives him every chance of making the frame again. Poppycon and Walk On Annilog look the main dangers in a race where depth is not the issue, reliability is.

18:19 – Treo Eile Handicap Hurdle (Div II)
Race Details: 2m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is a proper Wexford handicap hurdle puzzle rather than a race to get carried away by, but there are a few with solid enough claims. Euro Maker and Deise Crystal bring the most persuasive recent placed form, while Bella Union arrives chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is clearly thriving despite a 10lb rise from her last success. Bryson is another with the ability to get involved if putting things together, and Redcliff Glen lurks on a dangerous mark for a yard that knows how to land one of these. In a 17-runner field over this trip, position and clean jumping will matter, and I’d rather side with runners who arrive with some momentum than those needing a revival. It looks competitive, but not especially deep.
Top Selections
1. Euro Maker – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Flanagan | Trainer: Adrian Murray | Form: /00P2- | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 86
Euro Maker appeals as the percentage call. He shaped much better when runner-up on his latest outing, and for a lightly raced 5yo that was the kind of run suggesting his mark of 101 is workable rather than punishing. Sean Flanagan is a positive booking in a race where keeping things straightforward will count for plenty, and the combination of his age and that latest effort hints there may still be more to come than with several of these exposed handicappers. Available at 5/1, he looks short enough to show the market has him right, but still fair if building on that second. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Redcliff Glen – 12/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Tom Kelly | Trainer: C Byrnes | Form: 0580-6 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 92
Redcliff Glen is the each-way alternative at a much more tempting price. The recent form figures don’t scream confidence, but this is exactly the sort of horse C Byrnes can get competitive in a handicap when the conditions and mark line up. His topspeed figure of 92 is one of the better numbers in the field, and that tells you the ability is there if he gets a strongly run race to aim at. The latest sixth may not look much on paper, but it was at least a step back toward respectability. At 12/1 with four places on offer, he makes plenty of each-way appeal. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Euro Maker is the sensible win bet after that encouraging second and looks the one with the clearest scope to improve again. For an each-way punt, Redcliff Glen is the value play at double-figure odds in a race where plenty have questions to answer. The obvious dangers are Deise Crystal, who arrives in form, and Bella Union, who is thriving but now has more weight and a tougher task.

18:49 – Discover Wexford Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This looks a fairly interesting maiden rather than a deep one, with a few exposed types setting the standard and one or two less exposed runners open to better. Karlynn is the obvious starting point after a good second and gets plenty of weight from most of these as a 4yo, while Casual Water represents the Mullins-Townend axis and should be sharper again after stepping forward on latest start. Youneedabitofluck and Grandy Lane have bits of form that put them in the mix, but both have had enough chances to leave the suspicion they are vulnerable to something less exposed. Lumiere Du Large also arrives off a solid run and is respected. It is not bombproof, but the market principals do look the right horses here.
Top Selections
1. Karlynn – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: E Walsh | Trainer: John M Burke | Form: 645-2 | Rating: 127 | Topspeed: 102
Karlynn sets the standard on the figures and, more importantly, looked to be learning the job when runner-up on the latest start. That 127 rating stands out in this field and the 4yo receives weight from the older horses, which matters in a maiden over this trip. There is enough pace and pressure in here to make this a proper test, and she shapes like one who should see out 2m4f well enough on good to yielding ground. At 9/4 she is no giveaway, but she is the one with the clearest blend of upside and substance. She looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Casual Water – 7/2 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Paul Townend | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 5-93 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 61
Casual Water is the each-way angle because there was definite encouragement in that latest third, a run that suggested things are beginning to click. The bare rating of 117 leaves work to do with Karlynn, but this is a yard that improves these types in chunks rather than inches, and the booking of Paul Townend only sharpens the case. He is still lightly raced over hurdles and this longer trip could bring out more. Around 7/2 is not spectacular for an each-way play, but in a 14-runner field with three places it still makes some appeal if you think he is solidly in the first three and capable of better again. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Karlynn is the win bet; she has the best profile, the strongest rating and the weight concession to older rivals. Casual Water makes most appeal as the each-way punt in a race where improvement is likely. The main dangers are Lumiere Du Large, who arrives off a solid second, and Youneedabitofluck, whose placed form gives him a squeak if this turns into a war of attrition.

19:19 – Rosslare Strand Hurdle
Race Details: 3m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is only a five-runner contest but it still has a fair bit of shape to it. Dani Donadoni sets the standard on official figures and looks the obvious one after mixing it in stronger company, while Rocky’s Howya arrives in terrific heart after another win and is the one most likely to make the Mullins runner earn it. Lemmy Caution is unexposed at this trip and comes here on the back of a victory, so there is some upside there, but he now meets a classier rival. Park Of Kings and Kiltealy Park need to leave modest recent efforts behind. In truth, this doesn’t look a deep race for the grade and the one with the strongest back-class may simply outclass them.
Top Selections
1. Dani Donadoni – 5/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul Townend | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 2521U- | Rating: 146 | Topspeed: 110
Dani Donadoni is the class act in this line-up and a mark of 146 leaves him clear of these on the figures. His form last season was solid without being flashy, but he was running in stronger races than this and that matters plenty in a small-field staying hurdle around Wexford. The final-start unseat is easy enough to forgive, and if he returns in the same shape, Paul Townend should be able to keep things simple. At 5/6 he is no hidden gem, but this is the sort of race where the obvious answer is often the right one. He holds strong claims and is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Dani Donadoni is the win bet and the only selection in a race with limited each-way appeal. Rocky’s Howya is the main danger on recent winning form, while Lemmy Caution has enough upside to make the favourite work. In a five-runner field, though, this looks a case for siding with proven class over trying to get clever.

19:49 – Wexford Harbour Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is a proper staying handicap hurdle with plenty in with a squeak, but it does not look a deep race and that makes recent, solid form especially appealing. Annie Button heads the market after getting the job done last time and is obviously a major player again despite a 7lb rise, while Oogum Boogum and Ballinaboola Gold also arrive on the back of encouraging efforts. Lecale’s Diamond has the sort of profile to get involved now stepping into a race of this nature, and Sean Mc has ability but must shoulder top weight. With 17 runners over 3m, this could turn into a test of resolution as much as class, and in truth it feels more like a tricky punting heat than a race full of hidden stars.
Top Selections
1. Annie Button – 10/3 with William Hill
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Peter John Flood | Form: 0P26-1 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 96
She makes plenty of appeal after breaking through last time, and that performance suggested this sort of staying handicap is well within reach. The 96 Topspeed figure is one of the better numbers on offer here, and while a 7lb rise asks another question, she is at least a mare arriving in form rather than one trying to rediscover it. Danny Gilligan is a positive booking and, in a race where several of these are either inconsistent or vulnerable under their marks, Annie Button looks the one with the most persuasive current profile. At 10/3 she is no giveaway, but she is still the one I would want on side. Bet: WIN

2. Ballinaboola Gold – 7/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Danny Mullins | Trainer: R Donohoe | Form: 7008-2 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 90
The market may just have this one about right, but 7/1 still looks fair for a horse who shaped much better when runner-up on the latest start. That was a welcome return to form after a few underwhelming efforts, and as a 5yo there is at least some scope for a bit more progress over staying trips. Danny Mullins takes over, which catches the eye in a race like this, and a mark of 100 gives him a workable platform if he can back up that latest run. He is not bombproof, but in a 17-runner handicap with four places on offer he makes obvious each-way appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Annie Button is the win play because she arrives here with the strongest recent piece of form and looks the most straightforward option. Ballinaboola Gold is the each-way punt at a fair price, with his latest second suggesting he is coming to the boil. Oogum Boogum and Lecale’s Diamond are the two I would fear most if things do not fall right for the principals.

20:19 – Wexford Racing Again 30th June INH Flat Race
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Good in places (Watering) (Hurdle track innermost line) | | jumps
This is a typically lively Wexford bumper to close, with a mix of lightly raced four-year-olds and older types who have already shown their hand. Weaponized sets the standard on bare form after finishing second on debut and, with that hefty Topspeed figure, he looks the obvious one to beat despite carrying less weight as a four-year-old. Square Jasmin also appeals among the younger brigade after a promising fourth first time out, while Kisuton Enki brings the strongest established body of form after a pair of seconds in bumpers. Siege Of Carthage is another with solid claims after chasing home a useful one on his sole start. It is not a weak race at all for the grade, but there are enough unexposed runners lurking to make it a proper betting puzzle rather than a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Weaponized – 2/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Mr B T Stone | Trainer: Sean Thomas Doyle | Form: 2 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 105
Weaponized looks the one with the most immediate upside. That debut second was the best single piece of recent form on offer here and a 112 rating already gives him a clear edge over most of these. The standout figure is the 105 Topspeed, which jumps off the page in a race where plenty are either unraced or have shown only modest bumper ability. As a four-year-old he gets in on 153lb, and that weight concession could be significant over this trip if he settles and travels as well again. Around the 2/1 mark, he is short enough but still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Square Jasmin – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J L Gleeson | Trainer: James William Hannon | Form: 4 | Rating: | Topspeed:
Square Jasmin is the each-way play because there is a fair chance she improves plenty from that debut fourth. In a field packed with exposed older maidens, I would rather side with an unexposed four-year-old who has at least shown she can be competitive at this level. She also receives weight from the older horses, which is no small help in these staying bumpers around Wexford. The market has latched on a bit, but 11/2 still looks workable given she has less mileage on the clock than chief rivals like Kisuton Enki and Siege Of Carthage. She strikes me as the type to travel into it and hit the frame at the very least. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Weaponized is the straightforward win bet after producing the strongest form and speed figure in the field. For an each-way punt, Square Jasmin makes more appeal than some of the exposed older runners and should appreciate the weight allowance. The obvious dangers are Kisuton Enki, who keeps knocking on the door, and Siege Of Carthage, whose sole second gives him solid place claims.
