UK Horse Racing Tips: Tipperary

LETS GO CHAMP has clearly had training setbacks, but bounced back at Naas last month and is suited by conditions. A brother to Scarlet And Dove and out of a half-sister to Our Conor, he cost 375,000 pounds following his 2019 point-to-point win and while absent for 1,344 days prior to January, now seems back on track, with the winner of his recent Naas race subsequently going in at Grade 2 level. Danada showed plenty of promise on his Clonmel debut and while now open to vast improvement, might still struggle to beat the selection. Itstimetomoveon bumped into a smart type at Limerick last month and while quite unexposed, nonetheless also meets a strong selection.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go Champ 2nd Danada 3rd Itstimetomoveon

Runner-up over 2m5f at Limerick, there could be more to come from CASTLE FIELD BOY and he is fancied to break his duck at the sixth time of asking. Patrick Foley's seven-year-old looks set to improve for a slightly shorter trip, especially given he showed no extra towards the finish last time. Linden Arden recorded a much-improved second over 2m3f, also at Limerick, last month and he can give the selection plenty to think about. Transmission is another to bear in mind following a fourth over 2m at Fairyhouse in February.
Prediction : 1st Castle Field Boy 2nd Linden Arden 3rd Transmission

LEADING THE WAY's last run was encouraging and a reproduction would give him every chance, even though dropping in distance is a small concern. Well suited by testing ground, that recent Cork form has worked out quite well, with runner-up Mighty Jeremy and fifth-placed The Crow both winning subsequently. Lakomet Of Saints has hinted at having ability and while beaten 26 lengths at Leopardstown, finished nicely and Michael O'Sullivan is a notable booking. Moonlight Getaway wasn't beaten a million miles by a well-handicapped winner in January, is unexposed, and returns following a break. Go Gill Go has bits of form at this level.
Prediction : 1st Leading The Way 2nd Lakomet Of Saints 3rd Moonlight Getaway

CLIFTON WARRIOR is a 133-rated hurdler who ran well on his chase debut. Successful on testing ground last November, his recent Limerick run (Flindt was well held in fifth) was useful and progression is possible. The Banger Doyle was capable in 2020 bumpers and while his hurdles form was disappointing, he was chasing two capable types when falling at the last on reappearance at Gowran and is suited by today's conditions. Changing The Rules, out of a half-sister to Moscow Flyer, has frustrated but offered some encouragement on chase debut recently and can improve in this sphere. Three-time hurdle winner Mattie's Mountain is a chasing type with fences form and has place claims. Heather Rocco was rated 134 over hurdles in 2021, but is long absent and debuts over fences.
Prediction : 1st Clifton Warrior 2nd The Banger Doyle 3rd Changing The Rules

SOLNESS looks worth supporting on this step up in trip. He won a conditions hurdle in his native France and, since moving to Joseph O'Brien, was a decent second in a beginners chase at Thurles. He built upon that by making all over 2m1f in Leopardstown last month. Cut in the ground is ideal for him. Gallyhill won over a similar trip at Down Royal in May last year. He has the assistance of in-form claimer Michael O'Sullivan. All Those Years took to chasing in Limerick and will get through the ground. Dreal Deal is unexposed over fences and, as a seven-time winner on the Flat and over hurdles, he shouldn't be underestimated. Chameron and Percy Warner make this a competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st Solness 2nd Gallyhill 3rd All Those Years

EDDIES PRIDE was collared on the run-in and weakened into second over an extended 2m6f at Clonmel, but he is entitled to come on from that first run in almost five months. He was 30 lengths clear of the third home and was victorious on his penultimate start over a staying trip at Fairyhouse in November. Positive Thinker has been placed in his last five hurdle races. He is up in trip and makes his chasing debut in a bid to shed his maiden tag, and is a danger. Baldur's Gate can give Rachael Blackmore a good spin in this company, but the ground doesn't look to be in Goodnightngodbless' favour.
Prediction : 1st Eddies Pride 2nd Positive Thinker 3rd Baldurs Gate

FOUR CLEAN ACES looks a likely sort on debut for Willie Mullins. She is by a notable National Hunt sire whose progeny is more than effective on testing ground. Her dam was a seven-time winner, including in a bumper at Roscommon. Armed And Fabulous was third on debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and showed improvement to chase home a winner in Cork. Those experiences give her claims. Vedetta Star is a sister to a 10-time winner in Britain across bumpers, steeplechases and hurdle races. She finished fourth on debut at Gowran Park in February and can come on for the run. There are plenty of winners in Koko Kan's pedigree and she is one to monitor for market strength. Tin Of Tonic is a half-sister to a staying chaser who won twice at Grade 2 level. She could show up well on debut in this stamina test.
Prediction : 1st Four Clean Aces 2nd Armed And Fabulous 3rd Vedetta Star
