UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

STILL CIEL, a sister to Grade 1 winner Skyace, has nice ability and is ideally suited by conditions. A point-to-point winner on debut, she ran well at Cork last month when bumping into capable Sheishybrid, which has won twice subsequently, and has a race-fitness edge. Bella Scintilla could be smart having run well at top venues in her native France. Placed on five of seven runs, she was beaten a short-head on chase debut aged three last year and while she could be ready on her first run for 179 days, would prefer testing ground and possibly further. Kilbarry Lilac has useful bumper form but lacks jumps experience while Glorious Singer ran well at Limerick last March but drops back in distance for her reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Still Ciel 2nd Bella Scintilla 3rd Kilbarry Lilac

TOOR MOMENT lacks a run but was in form when last seen. A maiden hurdle winner in 2021, her two most recent handicap hurdle runs were good efforts, with the form of both races subsequently working out well. She is suited by a sound surface and this distance. Our Bobby is consistent, ran well when second over course and distance in July and while beaten from 1lb lower at Wexford recently, is dependable. Buttons And Bows, a three-time winner, was behind the selection at Wexford in May but ran well at Listowel and is suited by conditions. Downthecellar has yet to translate his good chase form to hurdles but ran well enough at Roscommon.
Prediction : 1st Toor Moment 2nd Our Bobby 3rd Buttons And Bows

MAGHERALIN MICK was beaten by Desertmore House recently but can turn placings. A Sligo maiden hurdle in August, he while beaten four lengths by Desertmore House at Downpatrick, shaped as though he would improve for this extra distance and is 10lb better off. Point-to-point winner Desertmore House was probably unsuited by shorter distances when owner-ridden in bumpers and while he has plenty weight today, should also appreciate this longer distance. Toss Again was well held by a useful winner over course and distance in August, can progress further being a five year old and is suited by a sound surface. Alvaro was narrowly beaten here in August and having run well at Listowel, should be suited by stepping back up in distance. Champella won on hurdles debut recently (when a joint-leader fell at the last) but faces a stiffer test while Run For Patalso won an ordinary Listowel maiden hurdle and is officially 4lb wrong.
Prediction : 1st Magheralin Mick 2nd Desertmore House 3rd Toss Again

WINNING RASCAL was a surprise winner at Listowel and might defy a 9lb rise. Third on point-to-point debut in 2020, he won in a first-time tongue-tie at Listowel and is clearly suited by staying distances and a sound surface. Twoplustwo Equals is interesting on handicap debut, having been part of a four-horse gamble at Tramore in August. She was eased when well held at Listowel recently but steps up in distance today and is rated just 90. Ocojohn is a 10-race maiden who ran well at Wexford in August, while Bear Claws disappointed at Listowel but had previously shown form at this level. The Hollmeister disappointed at Roscommon six days ago but has strong claims on his earlier form this summer.
Prediction : 1st Winning Rascal 2nd Twoplustwo Equals 3rd Ocojohn

ENA BAIE makes her handicap chase debut from a workable mark. A French Grade 3 bumper winner in 2017, she has yet to win in Ireland but showed enough in two recent chase runs to suggest she can win from a rating which is 7lb below her hurdles mark, under a 7lb claimer. Coole Arcade won from 5lb lower on his second chase start at Wexford in August and can progress further over fences, with trip and ground in his favour. Carnet De Stage pulled up with a slipped saddle at Listowel but had won from 6lb lower here previously and is helped by his rider's 7lb claim. Pythion reverts to fences and beat Jack Holiday to win at Tramore in July while Ricky Langford was second to the selection at Wexford but was well held subsequently. Cregane Ned reappears and might prefer further and softer ground.
Prediction : 1st Ena Baie 2nd Coole Arcade 3rd Carnet De Stage

CRIMSON CHIEF returned to form recently and is suited by this distance and a sound surface. His hurdles and chase ratings had slipped in recent times and while 6lb higher than when winning over fences at Kilbeggan in August, he won from today's same 91 rating over hurdles at Galway last month and is again ridden by his capable 5lb claimer. Zalika finished ahead of Arverne over course and distance in August and both hold obvious claims, being consistent types. Getaclan was in contention when falling on chase debut at Sligo and while a 13-race maiden, could run well if learning from that experience. My Friend The Wind ran well over hurdles at Listowel but lacks a little chase experience.
Prediction : 1st Crimson Chief 2nd Zalika 3rd Arverne

FINAL ORDERS is well suited by race conditions and ran well on chase debut at Downpatrick. Versatile trip-wise, he also likes a sound surface and any progression from his chase debut could see strongly involved in this similar event. The Abbey is also suited by race conditions, being rated 102 both over hurdles and fences. He is winless in eight chase outings but has finished second four times and is also trip-versatile and suited by good ground. Emir De Rots was claimed back at Clonmel on Thursday and has a bit to find on overall form, although has chase experience. Maciver had a clear round on his recent chase debut and can get involved dropping in grade today, having shown capable hurdles form this summer. King Ferdinand was useful in the UK and debuts for new connections but lacks a recent run.
Prediction : 1st Final Orders 2nd The Abbey 3rd Emir De Rots

SEARCH FOR A MYTH failed to win in nine hurdles and debuts over fences but is consistent and is race-fit. Narrowly beaten when finishing well at Wexford, she could improve over fences, will be well schooled and today's same rider claims 7lb. Similarly owned Dreamsrmadeofthis is more interesting and while she won a maiden hurdle on debut in 2021, hasn't shown much since but wasn't beat far at Wexford in March. She drops to handicap company in an ordinary race from a 9lb lower chase rating but notably lacks a run. Joeswayornoway is rated 4lb lower over fences than hurdles and has place claims, while Padraic's Choice has hurdles form but debuts over fences.
Prediction : 1st Search For A Myth 2nd Dreamsrmadeofthis 3rd Padraics Choice
