UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

A seven-time winner, IS THAT LOVE looks the one to beat. Claimed by James McAuley after going down by half a length on his penultimate start, the six-year-old since finished a close-up third at Dundalk last week. McAuley also saddles Roderick, the highest-rated runner in the line-up on a mark of 83. A three-time winner before arriving in Ireland, he finished down the field on his most recent start at Dundalk in February. New Route is an interesting contender with Dylan Browne McMonagle booked to ride. Far from disgraced in recent starts at Leopardstown and Limerick, he could make an impact in a contest of this quality. In for just 4,000 euros, Ard Mhacha has claims with Jamie Powell taking 5lb off, while others that warrant respect are Brown Eagle, Might And Mercy and Santa Catarina.
Prediction : 1st Is That Love 2nd New Route 3rd Ard Mhacha

Despite giving weight all round, DEEPONE can follow in the footsteps of Luxembourg by taking this mile contest. The Study Of Man bay put in an impressive performance on debut at Leopardstown in May, coming home two and a half lengths to the good. The well-regarded Spanish Flame finished fourth and has since given the form a significant boost by winning his next two. Dramatic Entrance started her career with a satisfactory fifth last month and she is likely to improve for that effort. Nor Time Nor Tide holds a Futurity Stakes entry and while he'll need to be smart to take this, he should give a good account of himself on debut. Burn The Bridges and Naisiun failed to make a significant impact at the Curragh and Roscommon respectively and they look up against it now.
Prediction : 1st Deepone 2nd Dramatic Entrance 3rd Nor Time Nor Tide

A brother to Group 1 winners Alpha Centauri and Discoveries, Simpson's Paradox has undoubtedly been disappointing. A beaten favourite on his return to action at Gowran in April, he looks opposable now. Having said that, there isn't much strength and depth to this contest. Genuine Article was a solid third on debut over the course and distance in October, but the form of that race hasn't worked out well. A runner-up on debut at Dundalk, Signatory could only manage fifth on his next start. The John Murphy-trained colt should still be able to make an impact here, while Sorrento Point and newcomer Sevensees are others that warrant respect. For a selection, TOLL STONE gets the nod. He ran a race full of promise when fourth on debut at Ballinrobe last month and the son of Australia should come on plenty for that experience.
Prediction : 1st Toll Stone 2nd Simpsons Paradox 3rd Signatory

Out of Group 1 winner Clemmie, UNLESS is the suggestion in this competitive Listed affair. She belatedly made the breakthrough at Naas in May and since ran a fine race to finish fourth of 29 in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. Like the selection, Eternal Silence also gained an overdue win at Naas. Third at the highest level as a juvenile, she impressively dismissed her rivals at the Tipper Road venue, and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow up now. Indian Wish (wearing first-time cheekpieces) and Mea Domina (wearing a first-time tongue-strap) are both rated 100 and are sure to have plenty of supporters. A dual Listed winner in her native France, the latter has been placed in two starts since joining the Paddy Twomey yard. Clever And Cool appreciated the drop in class when obliging at Naas recently and should give a good account of herself, while Giladah and Zoinnocent are others to keep on side.
Prediction : 1st Unless 2nd Eternal Silence 3rd Mea Domina

SOI DAO should be suited by this step up to a mile. The Mickey Fenton-trained filly has caught the eye finishing well on her latest two starts and has actually been dropped a few pounds by the handicapper. Everylittlestep gained a deserved win when beating 21 rivals at Leopardstown last month and the form has been franked with a couple of recent winners coming out of that 1m1f event. Linger For Longer has strung together a series of solid efforts this season while Trueba, General Idea and Boomerang Bill are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Soi Dao 2nd Everylittlestep 3rd Linger For Longer

GOLDEN FRECKLE was unconsidered in the market on her handicap debut over this trip at Limerick last month but ran a cracker despite repeatedly being denied a clear run in the straight. The Thomond O'Mara-trained filly should reverse places with the third, Purring Along, as the pair were only separated by a head. Barnhill Rose finished about four lengths behind the selection at Limerick but was successful on both starts either side of that run including at Roscommon last time where Pallasmore Lass finished well when close up in third. Chimeric won in good style at Gowran last month but has been raised 9lb, while Leviosa is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Golden Freckle 2nd Pallasmore Lass 3rd Leviosa

FOLLY BEACH has dropped down to an attractive mark and went close at Tipperary last time when just failing by a head to peg back Belgoprince. The fourth, Wild Shot, gave that form a boost when scoring at Tramore last week. Tastyee has been a model of consistency this year gaining reward when successful at Tipperary and didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when a creditable third subsequently at Fairyhouse. Jabbar came home strongly when third to Kodiac Prince in a 22-runner handicap at the Curragh last time and should go close if staying this extra quarter mile while stablemate Hello Power also gave encouragement when third at Tipperary a fortnight ago. Slieve Bearnagh and Romann complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Folly Beach 2nd Tastyee 3rd Jabbar

MASTER DUNRAVEN was well-backed on his handicap debut at Roscommon when third to the progressive Whisky On The Hill. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding should benefit from that experience and could prove difficult to beat if staying this extra quarter mile. Barometer has filled the runner-up spot three times at this venue including over this distance last August, while Zileo has been running well this year and had Global Export a length behind when the pair were placed over two miles at Listowel last month. Londonofficecallin has struck form since joining Eric McNamara this year, bolting up over hurdles at Punchestown before following up on the Flat at Down Royal.
Prediction : 1st Master Dunraven 2nd Barometer 3rd Londonofficecallin
