UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

DEWCUP sets a very high standard having finished fourth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in the spring and, on that performance, could prove a cut above the opposition on his hurdling bow. Nero Rock ran a lot better on his second hurdles outing when filling the runner-up spot at Cork in May and can enter the reckoning along with 170,000-euro purchase Gabbys Cross, a point-to-point winner at Monksgrange in April.
Prediction : 1st Dewcup 2nd Nero Rock 3rd Gabbys Cross

SURIN boasts the strongest form in the book, having finished third in a Grade 1 behind the ill-fated Sir Erec at Leopardstown in February, and is entitled to take a step forward from her return to action at Gowran at the start of the month. A tongue-tie might elicit further progression and she could prove too strong for Denham Hana, a winner at Limerick two starts ago, and dual bumper winner Uisce Solas.
Prediction : 1st Surin 2nd Denham Hana 3rd Uisce Solas

DANCING ON MY OWN achieved a decent level of form over timber last season behind Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner Klassical Dream on a couple of occasions at Leopardstown. He disappointed when fancied in the Coral Cup and shaped on his first outing of the season at Galway as though the drop back in trip would benefit him. Champagne Paddy and Conflated appeal as being best of the remainder on what they showed in bumpers.
Prediction : 1st Dancing On My Own 2nd Champagne Paddy 3rd Conflated

HERBIEGOESBANANAS fell into a bit of a hole when trying to make all at Downpatrick 16 days ago and might benefit from a more patient ride now upped in trip. The nine-year-old was a well-backed favourite on that occasion and is clearly thought of as being fairly handicapped. Gunfire Reef returns to hurdles after a nice performance over fences at Punchestown 11 days ago, while Caddy Shack, who has finished third the last twice at Clonmel, could reward each-way support once more.
Prediction : 1st Herbiegoesbananas 2nd Gunfire Reef 3rd Caddy Shack

EGO DES MOTTES should have come on for the run at Punchestown 11 days ago when third of 19 in a competitive event, and the five-year-old is fancied to take some beating at the fourth time of asking over hurdles. Willie Mullins' charge should appreciate this step back up in trip and appeals more than Cherokee Bill, who just failed when attempting to make all at Downpatrick when last seen. Castlebrook has shown potential in his career so far and is noted after 295 days off the track.
Prediction : 1st Ego Des Mottes 2nd Cherokee Bill 3rd Castlebrook

This represents a great opening for top hunter chaser BURNING AMBITION, who won on his first Rules appearance last season before placing at both the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals. If anywhere near peak fitness on his first outing sine May, he could prove too classy for these rivals. Mount Hanover has shaped encouragingly in a couple of beginners' chases and ought to show up well on his handicap debut, while Roxboro Road is no forlorn hope on his return to chasing duty.
Prediction : 1st Burning Ambition 2nd Mount Hanover 3rd Roxboro Road

MISS ALOUD has some solid bumper form under her belt, including when getting within six and three-quarter lengths of subsequent Irish Cesarewitch winner Royal Illusion at Punchestown October, and this could be her time to shine. Scarlet Revera looks to be improving all the time and shouldn't be far away at the finish, while Infinite Glory and Miss Cedille cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Miss Aloud 2nd Scarlet Revera 3rd Infinite Glory
