UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

SECRET SHE KEEPS won a point-to-point in the autumn and showed plenty of promise on her Rules debut when third in a maiden at Leopardstown over Christmas. She was third over this trip and both the fourth and sixth have won twice subsequently. Henry de Bromhead's charge ran poorly when favourite at Fairyhouse in January and has been off since but she's likely to leave that run behind in a first-time tongue-tie. Gorki D'airy was placed in two of his first three starts over hurdles but was well beaten on very heavy ground at Clonmel on his latest start. He's been off for a similar length of time as the selection and may improve for better ground. Senecia ran very well on racecourse debut when second at Limerick and steps up in trip while Diamondinthemud, who was second in a bumper here last year, would have a chance if returning to the form of her runner-up effort at Punchestown in May.
Prediction : 1st Secret She Keeps 2nd Gorki Dairy 3rd Senecia

HE'S LEADING ME ON has gone close in his last two starts and looks well capable of handicap success. The five-year-old went down by just a neck to an odds-on favourite at Tramore and, having been outpaced early in the straight, flew home to again fill the runner-up spot at Roscommon. His cumulative 5lb rise shouldn't prevent him from making the breakthrough. Search For A Myth has been placed at Clonmel on her last two starts and was beaten only half a length on her latest outing. A good claimer negates a 3lb hike for that and she looks a big danger. I Don't Get It finally broke his maiden on his thirty-fifth start over hurdles at Downpatrick and might well go close off a 7lb higher mark now that he's got his head in front.
Prediction : 1st Hes Leading Me On 2nd Search For A Myth 3rd I Dont Get It

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS was disputing the lead when unseating rider three out in a C&D maiden last time and can make amends. Previously placed twice over 2m4f, the Jeremy gelding had got racing plenty early and may not have had a lot more left in the tank on that occasion but nonetheless looks the one to beat on his return to this venue. Glendaars Star finished around 10 lengths behind the selection when fifth at Killarney in May and is entitled to improve on that first outing of the year. Westcoastinformant was far from disgraced in a Punchestown festival bumper and again showed promise when fifth at the same track on hurdling debut. He could well be suited by this longer distance while one taking an even bigger step up in trip is Light Bringer who was a fair fifth over 2m on his Rules debut at Limerick.
Prediction : 1st Perceval Legallois 2nd Glendaars Star 3rd Westcoastinformant

HANNON was amongst the best of these over hurdles and showed promise on chasing debut at Navan in the autumn. Tom Gibney's seven-year-old led for a long way and was fourth when coming down two out in a decent contest. He made no impact in some valuable handicap hurdles in late spring but could go well back over the larger obstacles. Hybery was disappointing over hurdles but showed more when third on chase debut over this trip at Clonmel. Mighty Meggsie was a dual winner at a lower level over hurdles and has been runner-up, albeit soundly beaten, in her first two chase starts. Visionarian wouldn't be far behind the selection on hurdles form and is an interesting recruit to chasing along with Serenity Grove, who was an easy winner first time out over hurdles last term.
Prediction : 1st Hannon 2nd Hybery 3rd Visionarian

GENOIS won a maiden hurdle at Naas last year and has run well on all three starts over fences. The form of his second over 2m at this venue in May was endorsed when the winner followed up back here and he again ran creditably when third to another classy type at Ballinrobe. He was taken out of his comfort zone last time and stepping up to this trip may enable him to jump a little more fluently. Champagne Gold won his maiden hurdle here and has some smart handicap form to his name, notably a second at last year's Dublin Racing Festival. The experience gained from two runs over fences last season will stand to him. Everglow's stable has been quiet but with a rating of 130 he has to come into calculations. The Presenting gelding ran creditably several times behind talented novices last term and was a fair third over 3m at Punchestown at the end of May.
Prediction : 1st Genois 2nd Champagne Gold 3rd Everglow

IL COURRA won his bumper at this track and put some handicap experience to good use when getting off the mark in this sphere at Limerick in May. He was unable to land a blow over C&D in novice company last time but should be competitive back in a handicap. Fest Deiz, an easy winner at Kilbeggan in May, was let down by his jumping when a place ahead of the selection here on his latest start and will be a player if improving in that department. Na Caith Tobac has won his first two chase starts at Downpatrick and didn't run at all badly on the Flat last week. He's another to consider along with fellow Downpatrick winner Quantum Realm who drops back in trip having scored over almost 3m last time.
Prediction : 1st Il Courra 2nd Fest Deiz 3rd Na Caith Tobac

ZINGARA LASS was not far behind the placed horses when fifth to a very easy winner over C&D in May. That was a big improvement on her debut effort and she can go well back in mares' only company for a yard enjoying a good year on the Flat. Cnoc Na Si appears to be the first string for Willie Mullins and is now hooded having raced a bit freely when third over this trip at Fairyhouse. The second from that race has since gone one better. Mullins' other runner Moon Rise Beauty was favourite when fourth in a strong race at last summer's Galway festival on her only outing to date and is certainly not one to take lightly. Princess Sophia, placed in three of her four bumpers, steps up in trip and has good claims of again being in the money.
Prediction : 1st Zingara Lass 2nd Cnoc Na Si 3rd Moon Rise Beauty
