UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

There are plenty in here with solid placed form and SUTTONS HILL may be able to get his turn. The Arcadio gelding has been knocking on the door and has been runner-up on his last couple of outings, including when narrowly denied at Listowel last time. Littlefoot is another who has hit the crossbar on several occasions, including when chasing home My Gaffer on his hurdling debut at Limerick in late May. He had Master Splinter in behind in fourth then and may be able to confirm placings. Willie Mullins runs Chrisco, who has to be respected. He has been third on all three starts to date, albeit well held on each occasion.
Prediction : 1st Suttons Hill 2nd Littlefoot 3rd Chrisco

ATLANTIC WONDER ran a big race when second at Roscommon last time and looks capable of landing a contest of this standard. The six-year-old came to dispute two from home then before giving way in the closing stages to finish second to Prioritise. He is still relatively lightly raced and could improve once again. Hard Target ran a solid race to finish third at Kilbeggan last time and off the same mark he has to be on the shortlist here. Likewise, Ricky Langford was also placed last time at the same venue and is another that has to come into consideration.
Prediction : 1st Atlantic Wonder 2nd Hard Target 3rd Ricky Langford

HIGH CITY ROLLER ran a big race on his first outing for Liz Doyle here in late May and may be able to gain a deserved win now. The Arcadio gelding just failed to peg back Hartur D'arc over two-and-a-half miles last time and it's no surprise to see him stepping up in trip now. Hurdling debutant Kinbara could be the danger in the race. The Mahler gelding was a point-to-point winner before making a successful 'track' debut in a Killarney bumper last July. He made little impression on his return in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but ran well to chase home the impressive High Class Hero in a 'winners' event at Listowel early last month. Misty's Gift is another with solid placed form over hurdles and he has to come into the mix here.
Prediction : 1st High City Roller 2nd Kinbara 3rd Mistys Gift

BALLYADAM was no match for the impressive Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe last time but looks capable of getting off the mark over fences now. The Fame And Glory gelding was a Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler but hasn't really lived up to that since. He has shown some solid form in handicap company, however, and as a solid fifth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham this year. He was favourite on his return to chasing in late May but couldn't match the winner then. This looks a winnable opportunity now. Willie Mullins saddles Hubrisko and he looks a danger after a couple of solid placed efforts over fences. He chased home Salvador Ziggy at Punchestown last month, having met trouble in running, and should be capable of another big show. Joyeux Machin was a good winner over hurdles here in late May and is one to note on his chase debut.
Prediction : 1st Ballyadam 2nd Hubrisko 3rd Joyeux Machin

BIRCHDALE comes here in decent form and this looks a nice opportunity for him. The Jeremy gelding was in contention when falling on his penultimate outing at Killarney before chasing home Arrycan at Punchestown last month, and is only a pound higher now. Snugsborough Hall ran a decent race on his return to the 'track' when fourth at Roscommon last time and could be a player now having eased a couple of pounds since. He had Champagne Gold back in fifth that day and may be able to confirm placings with that rival, who is fitted with blinkers for the first time now.
Prediction : 1st Birchdale 2nd Snugsborough Hall 3rd Champagne Gold

BERLIET EXPRESS may be able to gain a deserved success over fences here. The Sageburg gelding won twice over timber and has been placed three times over the larger obstacles, including on his two most recent outings. He travelled best in the lead turning for home at Clonmel last time, but was headed after a mistake two from home. Off the same mark he looks capable of collecting now. Clairmc was a good winner over almost half a mile further here last time and bids to defy a 7lb rise. The drop back in trip would be a slight concern given the way she ran through the line then. Freddie Robdal is another who comes here in decent form and has to be on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Berliet Express 2nd Clairmc 3rd Freddie Robdal

It's hard to get away from Willie Mullins in bumpers given his recent record and newcomer FRIENDS may prove the pick here. The Mahler filly is the first foal of an unraced mare, who is a half-sister to Listed bumper winner Joanne One and from the family of the yard's Grade 1 winning mare Colreevy. Point-to-point winner Ma Bess ran a big race on her 'track' debut when chasing home another Mullins mare, Ivana, at Limerick and she could be the danger now. Our Girl Sal ran well at a big price when second over hurdles at Listowel last month and could be place material again back in a bumper.
Prediction : 1st Friends 2nd Ma Bess 3rd Our Girl Sal
