UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

Doctor Duffy got off the mark in bumpers at the fifth attempt at Cork and must be respected on hurdles debut. However, boasting a similar profile but with two bumper wins to his name, including a course success, ABYSSINIAN is preferred. The son of Galileo has an absence to overcome but, given his connections, is expected to be fit enough to do himself justice and should be well schooled. Chasing Abbey completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Abyssinian 2nd Doctor Duffy 3rd Chasing Abbey

Boasting four wins from eight starts over hurdles, Woodland Opera isn't without a big shout but might just struggle to successfully give 12lb to CAMPEADOR, who is officially rated 5lb superior than Jessica Harrington's inmate. Gordon Elliott's charge is less exposed and won over fences at Fairyhouse in December, so can be forgiven a couple of lacklustre efforts in this sphere since. Magnium and Flaxen Flare should also finish on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Campeador 2nd Woodland Opera 3rd Magnium

ASK HEATHER has a nice racing weight and has clearly improved since joining this yard last year. A comfortable winner at Clonmel in February, she proved that was no fluke when filling second place at Cork last month and is worth sticking with for now. Great White Shark will likely prove popular representing the all-conquering Willie Mullins stable and boasting an unexposed profile, while Gagas Horse can also have his say.
Prediction : 1st Ask Heather 2nd Great White Shark 3rd Gagas Horse

DONA KATHARINA has been rather disappointing in bumpers recently but she's a sister to Outlander and there may be better to come from her over hurdles. Owenacurra Lass kept on well when runner-up over 2m at Tramore on her penultimate outing and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Wetbehindtheears (fourth) and Fiveaftermidnight (fifth) are closely matched on their Cork run last time and look best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dona Katharina 2nd Owenacurra Lass 3rd Wetbehindtheears

PEREGRINE RUN has winning C&D form in the book and makes some appeal on his Listed victory at Wexford in October. The 8lb he receives from Jessica Harrington's Jett, who returned a Grade 2 winner at Fairyhouse in April and now incurs a penalty, could prove key on these terms. Don't Touch It has a little to find with the aforementioned pair at the weights but could feasibly play a minor role.
Prediction : 1st Peregrine Run 2nd Jett 3rd Dont Touch It

CONSHARON BOY was only narrowly denied when filling the runner-up spot at Fairyhouse on his latest outing in December and he should take plenty of beating if ready to go after a 149-day break. If the selection were to need the run then the recent Punchestown third Swingbridge could be the main beneficiary, ahead of Walk To Freedom and Uisce Beatha.
Prediction : 1st Consharon Boy 2nd Swingbridge 3rd Walk To Freedom

IT CAME TO PASS was in the process of running a solid race when unseating his rider at the second-last fence in the Champion Hunter Chase at Punchestown earlier in the month. With a clear round of jumping the nine-year-old can return to winning ways this evening. On The Fringe is the not the force of old but his more than capable of running well today, while Sea Light is another to note.
Prediction : 1st It Came To Pass 2nd On The Fringe 3rd Sea Light

BABOIN failed to fire last time out but his previous second-placed finish at Thurles suggests that he can be successful in a race of this nature. Dublin Four is another who could go well if bouncing back from a moderate performance when last seen. Dedanann needs to take a step forward to win this contest but he could pick up some minor money.
Prediction : 1st Baboin 2nd Dublin Four 3rd Dedanann
