UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

BAR ROOM BORE is 6lb and upwards ahead of these rivals on official figures and, with Jessica Harrington's team in excellent form at present, he gets the vote on his first start in plating company. Nobel Joshua also drops to this lowly level for the first time and merits consideration with cheekpieces back on, while But I Like It completes the shortlist having struck the crossbar in a Ballinrobe claimer last time.
Prediction : 1st Bar Room Bore 2nd Nobel Joshua 3rd But I Like It

Plenty went wrong for NOPE on her racecourse debut over this trip at Naas, yet the No Nay Never filly shaped with lots of promise to finish a staying-on sixth. She can only improve for that experience and looks the one to beat. The other experienced runners need to improve a fair bit, with Royal Dornoch one who may, so newcomer Lady Timmy Ho rates the biggest threat. She represents powerful connections and is a full sister to Group 3-winning sprinter Coulsty.
Prediction : 1st Nope 2nd Lady Timmy Ho 3rd Royal Dornoch

Prince Of Naples looks to be improving all the time and should be on the premises, while Joseph O'Brien has a strong hand with Erlking, who wears a first-time tongue-tie, and Cobb And Co. However, preference, is for IN THE PRESENT, who showed that she can be competitive in pattern company in May and Shane Foley's mount lost little in defeat when touched off in a Naas maiden last time. Today could well be her day.
Prediction : 1st In The Present 2nd Prince Of Naples 3rd Erlking

SHE'S MY DREAM benefited from the drop in distance when scoring over C&D on her latest outing and, with that success under her belt, she may have more to offer with her rider taking a useful 5lb off. The fifth from that contest, Jungle Jungle, went close at Limerick on his most recent outing and is entitled to go close once again, while Teddy Boy, Guiding Star and Reeking Havoc complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Shes My Dream 2nd Jungle Jungle 3rd Teddy Boy

SPLIT DOWN SOUTH has shown promise on his three starts so far and arrives on the back of his best performance to date when fourth at Leopardstown over 7f last month. He can open his account on his handicap debut ahead of the likes of Trueba, a winner at Naas on his latest outing, and Miacomet, who boasts a consistent profile and is of interest back up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Split Down South 2nd Trueba 3rd Miacomet

VERHOYEN doesn't know how to run a bad race and may have more to offer having been dropped 3lb for what was a superb effort in a competitive Curragh handicap 54 days ago. A break is likely to have done this busy four-year-old the world of good, and he can prove too strong for this field. Geological often performs well at this level and deserves to win again soon on what is his 96th career start, while War Hero is worth noting on just his second start for Ado McGuinness.
Prediction : 1st Verhoyen 2nd Geological 3rd War Hero

EMINENCE has the best recent form on offer having finished third in the competitive King George V handicap at Royal Ascot last month, and shouldn't be deterred by this drop in distance for Aidan O'Brien having been successful over the trip in April. The three-year-old can account for Agent Zigzag, who impressed when landing the spoils over this trip at the Curragh last month and could have more to offer. Fancy Feat is in good nick and completes the list of likely contenders.
Prediction : 1st Eminence 2nd Agent Zigzag 3rd Fancy Feat
