UK Horse Racing Tips: Bellewstown

A weak affair that concerns just three, with BEAUTY BELLA getting the nod over One Boss and Miss McHenry. Placed four-times from nine starts, the Adrian Murray-trained selection filled the runner-up spot over the course and distance on her most recent outing. In for a price of E25,000, the Buratino bay will be ridden by Jack Cleary who claims a valuable 7lb. One Boss (E25,000) is just about the highest rated runner in the line-up and while she disappointed at Punchestown earlier this month, a much improved performance can be expected from her now. Beaten by just a neck over the course and distance on her penultimate start, the Saxon Warrior bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Miss McHenry (E15,000) has some decent efforts to her name and should be able to make her presence felt in a contest of this quality.
Prediction : 1st Beauty Bella 2nd One Boss 3rd Miss McHenry

No worse than third in four visits to Bellewstown, another bold bid can be expected from WHAT ADAAY. Successful here in July, the Pat Martin-trained five-year-old was third when attempting to follow-up on her most recent start. The Bog Bank won this race 12-months ago and is another with a fine record at the Co Meath venue. Fourth or better on her last seven visits to the Hill Of Crockafotha, she will again be ridden by regular pilot James Ryan, with the young apprentice claiming a valuable 5lb. With Frankie Dettori aboard, Trueba famously won at this meeting in 2021 and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to strike again. The admirable gelding provided Wesley Joyce win this first win since returning from injury at Cork last month, and the Co Limerick pilot is reunited with the seven-year-old now. Fastman, Manhattan Dandy and Navorrosse are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st What Adaay 2nd The Bog Bank 3rd Trueba

With Jamie Spencer aboard, it could be a case of third time lucky for RAMPAGE at Bellewstown. Beaten by a neck into second on his two previous visits to the Co Meath venue, the Tom McCourt-trained four-year-old has managed to win elsewhere. Successful at Leopardstown in July, he again triumphed at Galway on his most recent start. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with Ampeson given second preference. A now six-time winner, the son of Mayson delivered on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Fairyhouse last week and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Beaten by just a nose at Listowel, Mercurial is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Celebrating Ethel, Imposing Supreme and Sunday Sovereign are other leading hopes.
Prediction : 1st Rampage 2nd Ampeson 3rd Mercurial

Eddie Lynam has a strong hand, saddling three of the eight declared. The Co Meath handler is responsible for newcomer Bear Cub, along with KEKE and Cross Border. There was just a short head between the selection and his stable companion when they finished second and third behind Smullen's Pride at Down Royal earlier this month. Coming from off the pace, Keke was a fast-finisher at the Maze venue and appears to be progressing with every run. Rathbranchurch is the biggest danger. Without a win in 15 starts, he has filled the runner-up spot three times and went down by just half-a-length on his penultimate outing in a competitive 21-runner affair at Navan. In first time cheekpieces, the aforementioned Cross Border should give a good account of himself, while Ferrari Desert is another capable of making his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Keke 2nd Rathbranchurch 3rd Cross Border

TAWAAZON is well drawn to repeat his course and distance win from earlier in the season. Back in April, the James McAuley-trained gelding was smartly away and always raced prominently before quickening clear over a furlong out. A small field, on a tight track such as this, are ideal conditions for the five-year-old. Aloysius Lilius finished behind Dream Today at Laytown last time but had been a good winner at Tipperary in August. A former course and distance winner, the seven-year-old could be suited to strongly run race where he can sit in and deliver a late challenge. The aforementioned Dream Today was always to the fore when winning on the beach earlier this month, so should again be capable of playing a leading role.
Prediction : 1st Tawaazon 2nd Aloysius Lilius 3rd Dream Today

With trainer Gavin Cromwell having his team back in rude health, FINAL ORDERS looks poised to exploit a very lenient mark on the flat. A winner over course and distance in July, the seven-year-old added another success at this track when taking a handicap hurdle on his most recent start. A huge improver over fences last winter, the C M D Syndicate-owned gelding should be capable of winning races off 68. Little Jo had dropped a long ways in the handicap prior to showing a bit more when second at Galway last time. Given his strong ties with the Barney Curley yard over the years, Jamie Spencer looks a significant booking for the nine-year-old. Dark Miss is harder to evaluate on her handicap debut but with her stable amongst the winners recently the filly has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Final Orders 2nd Little Jo 3rd Dark Miss

ALALCANCE can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking having just failed to win over course and distance last month. On that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly ran on strongly inside the final furlong, only just missing out by a short head. Her proven ability to handle this tight track is a definite positive now she goes in search of redemption. Harsh also just lost out in a driving finish on his most recent start, weakening late on to finish third at Listowel last week. With the experience of five previous runs and a handicap rating of 82, the Joseph O'Brien-trained grey should be involved. Hey Whatever finished just in front of the latter at Listowel recently, so can also make her presence felt. Perhaps, first-time cheekpieces will make the difference for the Noel Meade-trained filly.
Prediction : 1st Alalcance 2nd Harsh 3rd Hey Whatever
