UK Horse Racing Tips: Bellewstown

The 134-rated JUNGLE PROSE sets a high standard for a claimer and should prove the one to beat. She comes here having pulled up over fences at Galway earlier in the month, when it was reported that she jumped poorly. It's no surprise to see her back over hurdles now and this looks like a winnable opportunity. At the weights the 119-rated Wajaaha would appear to be the danger. He was fourth in a similar event at Sligo just under three weeks ago. Clondaw Hollow has been running well over fences and is another that has to be on the shortlist in this company.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Prose 2nd Wajaaha 3rd Clondaw Hollow

AEROS LUCK was a touch unlucky when last seen at Kilbeggan last month and can gain compensation here. The My Dream Boat gelding looked to have the race in the bag going to the last then but was untidy at the final flight and was chased down on the run-in by Hardwired. He had also been runner-up at the same course the previous month and wouldn't be winning out of turn now. Weseekherthere was slightly disappointing when fourth on her most recent start at Sligo but the bumper winner has some solid form and looks an obvious danger. Ivy Hall was well enough held when third at Kilbeggan five days ago but could pick up prize-money again.
Prediction : 1st Aeros Luck 2nd Weseekherthere 3rd Ivy Hall

FINAL ORDERS looks very well treated back over hurdles here compared to his chase mark, which is 47lb higher. The Camelot gelding made little impression when last seen in the Galway Plate after a bad mistake early on but his is a much easier task. He has been a big improver over fences, with five wins, since last seen over hurdles taking this same race 12 months ago. Spanish John won nicely at Ballinrobe 16 days ago and there looks scope for more improvement from the Vendangeur gelding. Pat Fahy's charge left his previous form well behind when rounding the field to win going away on his handicap debut. Artemis Angel may also be capable of a bit better at this distance. She looked a touch one-paced when they quickened from the last at Downpatrick last time.
Prediction : 1st Final Orders 2nd Spanish John 3rd Artemis Angel

BUKHILL is still relatively unexposed and may be able to make the most of a feather weight here, with Rachael Blackmore an eye-catching booking. The Hillstar gelding showed his well-being when running a cracker in a charity race at the Curragh on Saturday. He had previously failed to make much impression on his handicap debut over hurdles at Galway when getting a bit far back after a couple of mistakes. The five-year-old had won nicely on his previous hurdle start at Sligo and looks attractively treated off a mark of 105. Stilyker is an obvious danger for Willie Mullins. The Dylan Thomas gelding ran well for a long way when making the running at Galway last time. Stepping up in trip could suit now. The consistent Presenting Lad, a winner at Ballinrobe last time, looks another leading contender while impressive Roscommon winner Lake Winnipesaukee is an interesting one on his handicap debut. It remains to be seen how well treated he is off a mark of 123.
Prediction : 1st Bukhill 2nd Stilyker 3rd Presenting Lad

MOON RISE BEAUTY got a confidence boosting win under her belt at Cork last time and can bag a follow up win. The Spanish Moon filly had run well previously when chasing home Great Bear at the same venue and didn't have much to beat on her return earlier this month. She looks capable of running to a mark of around 120 which should be enough to win this. Popova holds that same rating and makes her first outing since finishing mid-division at Punchestown. She's a danger at her best. Je T'ai Porte, rated 117, looks another big player. She has run a couple of times on the level this summer and is a decent dual-purpose sort.
Prediction : 1st Moon Rise Beauty 2nd Popova 3rd Je Tai Porte

MATER MATUTA won this race 12 months ago and the locally trained mare is sure to be primed for a repeat bid. The selection, also successful both on the Flat and over fences, has been placed on a number of occasions in a varied campaign since and ran with credit here on her penultimate start over 1m4f. Steps In The Sand was claimed by current connections after winning over 1m4f at Dundalk last December and has been switched to hurdles this year making the frame on both handicap outings. She remains on a competitive mark while others to consider include Mr Globalist, Be My Hero and Applejack Poet. The latter had the keen running Neev's Dream behind when fourth in a similar event at Kilbeggan last time.
Prediction : 1st Mater Matuta 2nd Steps In The Sand 3rd Applejack Poet

UP AND OUT hails from a yard in good form and has shown her best form on good ground. She made a pleasing return after a winter break when beating all bar the odds-on Charlie Luciano in a Kilbeggan maiden and again filled the runner-up spot in a Sligo handicap last week behind hot favourite Redwood Queen. Red Striker won over hurdles and fences around this time last year and returned to form at Kilbeggan last time when only headed in the closing stages. Gwan Tadhg appreciated good ground when successful at Downpatrick earlier this month and had Tea It Is over six lengths back in third when runner-up to the gambled-on Anyway at the northern venue on Monday.
Prediction : 1st Up And Out 2nd Red Striker 3rd Gwan Tadhg

Willie Mullins continues to dominate in bumpers with another newcomer winning at Ballinrobe on Monday and THREESHEETSTODWIND may provide the champion trainer with yet another winner. The Shantou filly is a full sister to five winners including the useful Drop The Anchor who won the valuable November Handicap at Naas last year. Royal Moon has put together a series of consistent efforts in bumpers and will surely gain a deserved win at some stage, while Gone For Tea has similar claims having been placed on all three starts this summer. Gordon Elliott introduces Yourenotthebossame, a half-sister to two hurdle winners, although she wasn't too strong in the market before taken out due to ground conditions at Sligo last week.
Prediction : 1st Threesheetstodwind 2nd Royal Moon 3rd Gone For Tea
