UK Horse Racing Tips: Bellewstown

PULSE LIGHT ran well over course and distance 54 days ago in a maiden which has worked out well. Well held on debut before being gelded, he was checked late-on when catching the eye here in July, with the winner now rated 98 and the runner-up winning subsequently at Galway. Betterdaysrcoming runs in first-time cheekpieces, is proven and has a more recent run to the selection. He is sure to run another solid race but gives the selection 4lb. Colin Keane rides Noel Meade's other runner She's Local which is race-fit and has a light weight. She is capable and consistent but also carried light weights when beaten in previous maidens. Roaring Gallagher, a 50,000 euros yearling, is the first foal from an unraced dam who is a half-sister to five winners while Belissimo is a half-brother to a four-time winner.
Prediction : 1st Pulse Light 2nd Betterdaysrcoming 3rd Shes Local

SMILE OF LOVE is capable and ran well from a wide drawn on 358-days reappearance at Tipperary recently. A half-sister to a Listed winner and whose dam is related to Group winners, she was smart as a juvenile and with improvement likely from her reappearance, should take beating. Bienvenue showed promise as a juvenile but was well held at the Curragh in June. However that was her 276-days reappearance run on testing ground but hasn't run since and might struggle to beat the selection. Passage Of War and The Vik (in a first-time visor) are closely matched on Galway form and have place claims.
Prediction : 1st Smile Of Love 2nd Bienvenue 3rd Passage Of War

SCARRIFF ran well on handicap debut at Killarney and looks progressive. She showed little in maidens but improved when staying on well late-on at Killarney. She missed a recent engagement at that venue, being a reserve, and should comfortably better her 47 rating. The Bog Bank gained an overdue first win over course and distance in July and having won at Dundalk subsequently and run well at Naas, should get involved again. Guessthebill was once rated 98 but showed some old spark in claimers recently and could run well for new connections today, from a career low mark of 63. Barnhill Rose has a poor draw in 16 but has been running well in similar races. Dual winner Harbanaker ran well in first-time blinkers at Dundalk and can get involved.
Prediction : 1st Scarriff 2nd The Bog Bank 3rd Guessthebill

HEER AT DAWN is a 14-race maiden with a tendency to hang left but is in good form and is proven over trip, track and surface. Runner-up here in June, his latest Curragh run was useful and a reproduction would give him every chance. Coviglia is a five-time winner who has also been running well from his rating but is drawn wider in 15. Talking Touch has run 49 times in four years, is in form and should be suited by reverting to a mile having been outpaced when slowly away at the Curragh. Zaur won from 6lb lower at Gowran and is open to further progression, being unexposed, but has a poor draw in 18. Manhattan Dandy is a 33-race maiden with place claims.
Prediction : 1st Heer At Dawn 2nd Coviglia 3rd Talking Tough

SCARLET ANGEL showed some promise in maidens and made a promising start to life in handicaps when staying on into third behind Aristovic at Killarney last month. The Ger Lyons-trained filly is weighted to reverse places with that rival and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages subsequently also over a mile at Leopardstown. Flame Of Eire is on a hat-trick after wins over similar trips at Limerick and Galway, while Gowran winner Lady Arwen was placed twice at the Galway Festival. Butterfly Island started this year on an official mark of 82 but has dropped right down since and now tackles handicap company for the first time. Chaos Control won two nurseries over a mile at Dundalk last November and has been generally consistent this season on turf.
Prediction : 1st Scarlet Angel 2nd Flame Of Eire 3rd Butterfly Island

JARVIS beat the progressive Ano Syra in a Dundalk maiden last winter and followed up by again making all in a rated race over C&D in April. The selection has been generally consistent since including when placed again over C&D and had a number of these rivals behind when runner-up to Harry's Bar at Dundalk last time. Harmony Rose was close up in third in that latter race and has since been just denied by Erosandpsyche in a valuable event at Cork. Tide Of Time and Curraheen Princess both won over C&D last autumn and the latter has progressed again this term winning twice at Navan. Mister Trader showed good speed on his belated seasonal debut at the Curragh last Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Jarvis 2nd Harmony Rose 3rd Mister Trader

Aidan O'Brien has a strong hand here and perhaps ARK can finally get her head in front after making the frame on five of her six starts this term including over C&D. The selection has met stablemate Honeycomb three times this year with the score standing at 2-1 although the latter was struck into when disappointing at Galway when Ark was just denied by Willamette Valley, with White Caviar making a promising debut staying on into fifth. Regally Blonde has gone close on her latest two starts and is another for the shortlist, while Stellar Storm should progress from her debut when behind the two O'Brien-trained fillies at Killarney.
Prediction : 1st Ark 2nd Regally Blonde 3rd White Caviar

JESSE EVANS has proved a useful dual-purpose performer for connections winning four times and appears as good as ever after going close under both codes this summer. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was just denied on the Flat at Killarney before running a cracker in the Galway Hurdle when runner-up to Tudor City. He had a number of these rivals behind at Killarney including Cozone and Monas Melody who were both close up. Takarengo won a charity race at the Curragh last month and subsequently had No Thanks just behind when third to Rich Belief at Leopardstown. Stellium has filled the runner-up spot on his latest two starts and his latest effort behind Sionnach Eile at Ballinrobe received a big boost when the winner followed up in a Premier Handicap at the Galway Festival.
Prediction : 1st Jesse Evans 2nd Stellium 3rd Takarengo
