UK Horse Racing Tips: Ballinrobe

LOVE MOCHA gets the vote. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly showed promise on debut at Dundalk last autumn and has been placed a couple of times this season, including behind Saphristi in a 1m2f Fairyhouse claimer earlier this month. She had Western Cape over three lengths adrift on that occasion and that rival has put in a couple of solid efforts since in handicaps, including at Limerick on Friday evening. Cyber Attack showed plenty of promise on debut last year and again when going close at Dundalk, but hasn't progressed in three outings this term.
Prediction : 1st Love Mocha 2nd Western Cape 3rd Cyber Attack

Simpson's Paradox is certainly bred in the purple as a brother to Alpha Centauri and Discoveries, but has yet to hit anything near the heights of his illustrious siblings. He's been given a break since a spring reappearance at Gowran and is now fitted with cheekpieces but may not cope with stablemate THE FIRST AND LAST, who took a step forward from his debut at the Curragh last summer when reappearing at Cork. He was just touched off by Mr Lincoln and may now have most to fear from Report, who has a similar profile and showed definite promise at the Curragh last month. Not a lot went right for Green Sky on debut at Gowran and hopefully she can benefit from that experience.
Prediction : 1st The First And Last 2nd Report 3rd Simpsons Paradox

MISS YVONNE gets the vote on what may prove a good evening for Jessica Harrington. The daughter of Churchill has dropped down to a competitive mark this year and has solid claims on her latest two starts. She was beaten just over a length at Roscommon and went even closer over a mile at Limerick on Friday. Harrington is also represented by Portreath, who was placed on his handicap debut at Listowel and may be suited by this step up in trip. Navy Beach appreciated the step up to 1m2f when staying on into third behind the well-backed Picture Of A City at Down Royal on Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Miss Yvonne 2nd Portreath 3rd Navy Beach

Gavin Cromwell looks to have a strong hand here and the vote goes to bottom weight QUICK BLESSING. The sole three-year-old in the field gets a nice bit of weight from some of his rivals and looks capable of further improvement after a good run to chase home Parana Delta at Leopardstown earlier in the month. As a son of Australia going a bit further now should suit. Cromwell also has Pont Audemer who has been in good form over hurdles recently. The French-bred won over a mile in his native land and it will be interesting to see how he fares off a mark of 82 on his handicap debut on the level. Redstone Well looks another for the shortlist after a good effort to finish second at Gowran Park three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Quick Blessing 2nd Pont Audemer 3rd Redstone Well

Colin Keane is a positive booking for LIZZY'S FILLY and she may be able to gain a deserved win on her return. Cotai Glory filly rejoins Pat Martin having started her career with him and wouldn't be scoring out of turn having been placed six times from nine runs. To be fair she has bumped into some decent sorts and was last seen chasing home cosy winner Vadiana at Dundalk in December. Banned has a similar profile with plenty of placed form in the book. She doesn't look the most straightforward but could be a danger in a moderate enough contest. Granville Street was runner-up on his two outings for Ciaran Murphy last year, chasing home short-priced hotpots both times. He looks like another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lizzys Filly 2nd Banned 3rd Granville Street

SIGN FROM ABOVE looks capable of winning off this kind of mark on the Flat after some good runs over timber. The Sea The Stars gelding gained his sole win over a similar trip to this at Down Royal last September on nice ground before meeting trouble in running when sixth at the Curragh subsequently in more testing conditions. He remains on the same mark now for his return to Flat. Connections will be hoping the rain arrives for Nostra Casa. He won well on his return from a long absence at Sligo in late April and tries to defy a 10lb hike now. Red Vermillion won at Navan on her penultimate start over a similar trip and didn't appear to get home over further at Leopardstown last time. She's another that has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Sign From Above 2nd Nostra Casa 3rd Red Vermillion

MARVELOSA may be able to follow up after gaining a deserved success at Sligo last time. She had been knocking on the door for a while before her win last month and showed a good attitude to overcome some traffic problems to get the job done then. She has eased a couple of pounds in the recent handicapper's adjustment and looks on an attractive mark. Vera Verto ran a solid race when chasing home the well handicapped Night Sparkle at Fairyhouse last time and could be a danger now. Her trainer Gavin Cromwell also runs Pachmena and she also has a chance after a decent run to finish fourth on her return at Sligo in late April.
Prediction : 1st Marvelosa 2nd Vera Verto 3rd Pachmena
