UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

DYLAN ROCK showed some ability when third in a Naas bumper last December and despite proving disappointing since then, took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Tramore 13 days ago. A tongue-tie seemed to make a difference there so it is no great surprise to see it fitted once more. Alpine Scent was far from disgraced in a hot maiden hurdle at Punchestown last October, while Patriciadplasterer could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dylan Rock 2nd Alpine Scent 3rd Patriciadplasterer

Morga returned to a bit of form when fifth at Ballinrobe and remains on a workable mark, while Three Stars isn't getting any younger but appreciated a return to hurdles when second at Leopardstown last month. Arcenfete has proved disappointing the last twice when failing to complete, and this can go to SOLE PRETENDER. He extended away stylishly at Ballinrobe when last seen and his trainer commented afterwards that he sees the five-year-old as a potential Galway Hurdle candidate given time.
Prediction : 1st Sole Pretender 2nd Three Stars 3rd Arcenfete

OUR JERRY was a little disappointing at Ballinrobe 15 days ago but he previously looked progressive when second at Ayr and victorious at Cork, and could return to winning ways in what looks to be a decent opportunity to strike. Vinabell has a similar form profile and is open to further improvement at the age of just five, while the likes of Impressive Duke and Shes Gold might also take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Our Jerry 2nd Vinabell 3rd Impressive Duke

WILD DESIRE caught the eye when making late gains at Ballinrobe on her return from a six-month break 15 days ago and could prove tough to stop if building on those exertions. The slight drop from that extended 2m1f trip should suit, and the six-year-old can prove too strong for C&D scorer Trenchtown Rock, who will appreciate the switch back to a better surface. My Forever Friend has patches of reasonable recent form in the book and could be one for value seekers.
Prediction : 1st Wild Desire 2nd Trenchtown Rock 3rd My Forever Friend

An Fraoch Mor was a decent winner here last time, but he was getting weight from a 104-rated performer who was only five and three-quarter lengths behind him, so a mark of 118 for his handicap debut could prove a little harsh. CLOUDY MORNING, in contrast, looks really well handicapped having won a novice handicap chase here by seven lengths last time and reverting to the smaller obstacles off a 3lb lower mark. Shar Whats Therush has proved a consistent sort of late and is worthy of consideration, as is recent Tramore second Chin'up.
Prediction : 1st Cloudy Morning 2nd An Fraoch Mor 3rd Chinup

Bothar Dubh has won his last two over hurdles but fell in a chase at Clonmel between those successes, while Commandant was carried out in that Clonmel contest, having shown glimpses of promise over timber beforehand. The latter's trainer Joseph O'Brien has an additional string to his bow in Song Of The Sky, but THREE KINGS gets the vote. Gordon Elliott's charge was over 25 lengths clear of Derby De Thaix when second at Limerick last time and a similar performance could see him go one better.
Prediction : 1st Three Kings 2nd Bothar Dubh 3rd Commandant

HIGHEST BENEFIT's win over Cloudy Morning has already been franked by that runner-up scoring since, so even if the latter doesn't run up to scratch in the fifth race here, there are plenty of reasons to believe Willie Austin's charge can follow up after taking 25 attempts to get off the mark. One of those reasons is the paucity of the opposition, as Toosey and Double Windsor look the biggest dangers after finishing third on their respective latest starts, but both of them were beaten comprehensively.
Prediction : 1st Highest Benefit 2nd Toosey 3rd Double Windsor

FASOLA TIDO is certainly not a stable star for Willie Mullins, but she has been well supported on all three starts to date and can repay punters' faith in this. Lady Loretto has placed in all three outings in bumpers and has to be of interest for Mags Mullins, while Emmet Mullins saddles Dolly Dancer, who filled the runner-up spot over timber at Limerick last time. Declan Queally's course second Uisce Solas looks the pick of those not trained by the Mullins family.
Prediction : 1st Fasola Tido 2nd Lady Loretto 3rd Dolly Dancer
