UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

THEGINGRIN may do a bit better now tackling jumps. The Milan filly cost £115,000 after winning her point-to-point at Belharbour last February and went to post second favourite on her track debut at Limerick over Christmas. She failed to quicken in the straight then, finishing sixth in a bumper, and given that she was impressive on her sole start 'between' the flags she may prove better with an obstacle in front of her now. One Cool Lady had some solid bumper form and has had a couple of fair runs over hurdles this season. She is entitled to play a part in the finish here. Double Pink is back with original trainer Daniel Murphy having finished second in a bumper for Willie Mullins at Sligo last August. She is another to note on her hurdling debut.
Prediction : 1st Thegingrin 2nd One Cool Lady 3rd Double Pink

PARVOS may prove the pick in a tricky looking contest. The Flemensfirth mare was an eye-catcher last time on her handicap debut when running on well late on to finish a close fifth at Clonmel. She has a mark of 97 and running to that may be enough to land a race of this standard now. The handicapper has given four-year-old Secret Rock a mark of 102 after three runs. He made little impression on his first and third outings but caught the eye of the stewards when eighth at Punchestown and could be capable of better dropped in grade now. Got To Fly is another who has hinted at ability and has a rating of 100. The Walk In The Park mare has been running in some decent maiden hurdles and this is an easier task now.
Prediction : 1st Parvos 2nd Secret Rock 3rd Got To Fly

ASHTON COURT looks interesting on his first outing for Gordon Elliott. The Court Cave gelding was picked up for just 5,500 gns at the sales in December. He has some decent placed form going back to his time with Shark Hanlon and Elliott has a great record when picking up similar types from England in the past. Splashing Out has been knocking on the door in maiden hurdles and looks a danger. She weakened late on over a couple of furlongs further at Fairyhouse last time so dropping back to the minimum trip could help now. She had run really well to chase home Marelly at Limerick prior to that. Sixhandsinmypocket was beaten favourite when tried in handicap company before but may appreciate a bit nicer ground now and ran a solid race when fifth in a maiden hurdle last time.
Prediction : 1st Ashton Court 2nd Splashing Out 3rd Sixhandsinmypocket

JIVING JERRY may be worth a shot here in a tricky looking contest. He has been knocking on the door in some good handicap hurdles this winter. The Jeremy gelding is versatile trip-wise and ground-wise and is a solid contender. The in-form mare Doyen Ta Win races from 4lb out of the handicap but could still make a bold bid if she gets loose again on the lead around here on drying ground. Missiee is another mare coming here in fine form and she is a course and distance winner. The Dylan Thomas mare does seem to be better with plenty of dig in the ground though.
Prediction : 1st Jiving Jerry 2nd Doyen Ta Win 3rd Missiee

Adrian Heskin travels to Wexford for one ride on WHERE IT ALL BEGAN and the Yeats gelding can open his chase account. It was a decent run to finish fifth on his debut over fences at Gowran Park last month, on his first start since last May. He is entitled to improve from that run and this looks an easier task now. Former stablemate Robinstown was of a similar level over hurdles but ran poorly on his chase debut over at Hereford in late January and needs to leave that run well behind. Barbary Master showed a decent enough level over hurdles and is a chase debutant to note.
Prediction : 1st Where It All Began 2nd Robinstown 3rd Barbary Master

ADDED BONUS did well to win over two miles at Thurles and there may be another one in him going back up in trip here. The Jeremy gelding rallied to get home from Chainofconsequence last time and has placed form over further than this two-and-a-half mile trip over hurdles. He still looks unexposed over fences. Aodhan May was just denied by a head at Down Royal last time and looks an obvious danger. That was on much softer ground. She may again hold Finnians Row who was fifth behind her last time.
Prediction : 1st Added Bonus 2nd Aodhan May 3rd Finnians Row

DANCING CITY looks hard to oppose here. The Feel Like Dancing gelding was well touted when turned over at a very short price here in this same race 12 months ago. He bumped into a smart sort then though, in Three Card Brag, and doesn't look to face anything of that calibre now. Littlefoot has been runner-up in two bumpers, having also been placed twice in point-to-points, and looks the one most likely to give him most to do. He got outpaced across the top at Thurles last time and may want a more galloping track than this. Gordon Elliott's Smokey Putnum has been well held in two runs but could get closer to the money now in a race with less depth.
Prediction : 1st Dancing City 2nd Littlefoot 3rd Smokey Putnum
