UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

MAGICAL ZOE was impressive in winning a bumper in Cork for Barry Fitzgerald and could be a more than useful recruit for Henry de Bromhead. She put six and a half lengths on the field and had a subsequent maiden hurdle and bumper winner in behind. She is sure to be well schooled for her first crack at hurdles. Sunwalk won on the Flat at Dundalk and ran several good races in that sphere. He makes his jumping debut and the forecast rain won't inconvenience him at all as he was beaten by a head into second on yielding to soft in Gowran Park. Abstract made up a fair amount of ground for third in Down Royal.
Prediction : 1st Magical Zoe 2nd Sunwalk 3rd Abstract

SEARCH FOR A MYTH drops back in trip after runner-up spots in two of her last three runs over further. Previous efforts over the minimum trip haven't been inspiring, but she is much better form and the ground shouldn't be as testing. Michael O'Sullivan takes 7lb off her back and a hood is deployed for the first time. Red Striker won over hurdles at Sligo last month and has to rate a danger. He has since run OK in fourth over fences at Tramore. Douyouthinkso hasn't been out since June 2021, but has run well off a break before. He was only beaten by half a length in Tramore that summer and Danny Mullins is a good booking. Padraic's Choice is worth watching in the market. He has been off since August last year, but ran well in second at Sligo when last seen.
Prediction : 1st Search For A Myth 2nd Red Striker 3rd Doyouthinkso

ANYONECANHAVEITALL put in an improved effort when runner-up at Tramore last month. He just couldn't match the winner on the run-in and went down by three-quarters of a length. That was in a higher grade, which bodes well for this assignment, and cut in the ground will be ideal for him. Mary Meehan is likely to be popular as she represents Willie Mullins. She is up in trip after a couple of placed runs at Sligo last month. They represented her best results to date and it wouldn't take much more for her to make the breakthrough. Inforapenny is in a consistent vein of form and it wouldn't be surprising to see him on the premises. Florey Spud ran a cracker in second at 66/1 in Wexford and enters the equation too.
Prediction : 1st Anyonecanhaveitall 2nd Mary Meehan 3rd Inforapenny

ELUSIVE SEA catches the eye on her first crack at 3m. She showed ability in bumpers and ran her best race over flights when third at Sligo, and the winner of that race followed up by a wide margin in Cartmel. Stellar Symphony's first venture into handicap company saw her finish third over an extended 2m6f at Ballinrobe last month. She has been placed in three point-to-points so there is optimism that she can get involved over this trip on the racetrack. Killoughteen has been placed in her last two maiden hurdles so she is certainly one for the shortlist. Saint Bernadette is up in trip on handicap debut after a keeping-on fourth at Sligo.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Sea 2nd Stellar Symphony 3rd Killoughteen

Henry de Bromhead has landed two of the last three renewals of this race and has prospects with UPPING THE ANTI. This Valirann gelding has to give weight away to the field after two facile successes over fences in Kilbeggan and Tipperary. He jumped notably well on both occasions. Rambranlt'jac didn't really feature in fourth in a hot novice chase at Killarney but, prior to that, he stayed on best to win a beginners' chase at the Galway Festival. He won't be lacking in stamina. Tullybeg has a victory over fences in Kilbeggan to his name, although he unseated when last seen in Tramore. For Everyone was an easy winner of a beginners' chase at Tipperary in July, but was well behind Tullybeg in Kilbeggan the previous month.
Prediction : 1st Upping The Anti 2nd Rambranltjac 3rd Tullybeg

FILON D'OUDAIRIES showed a return to form when beaten half a length into second at Killarney. He won over C&D last summer and looks primed for another big run. Brideswell Lad kept on strongly to win over further at Limerick in July. He has been raised by 7lb and just gets into this grade. If he is in the same humour, he will take plenty of beating. Loughaneala Og left previous chasing efforts behind when third in a novice chase over C&D in June. Considering the winner of that race was then Grade-3 placed at the Galway Festival, she ought to be a contender here, although she does have to build upon that effort. Moonlit Sea makes his chasing debut after a more-than-decent third at 50/1 over hurdles at Tramore in June. He is far from out of it.
Prediction : 1st Filon DOudairies 2nd Brideswell Lad 3rd Loughaneala Og

AVEC ESPOIR was runner-up in this race last year behind a very in-form winner. His course form in Wexford reads '2241', with the victory coming in a 2m4f handicap chase in early August. He should be freshened up after almost a month off and Gavin Brouder's 5lb claim helps to lessen his burden. Crobally Boy has posted a couple of solid runner-up finishes in staying tests at Roscommon, when edged out by a head, and in Kilbeggan, when beaten half a length. He is a major threat. Lessofdnegativity's last run in this discipline saw him finish a close second over a similar trip at this venue. That brings him into contention.
Prediction : 1st Avec Espoir 2nd Crobally Boy 3rd Lessofdnegativity
