UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

SILENT APPROACH has been frustrating, but has a notable black-type placing over C&D in May. She has failed to win in six maiden hurdles but is reliable, bumped into useful types at Listowel recently, and can put her experience to good use. Goodie Two Shoes is probably, by some way, the best of these but her jumping was novicey on her recent jumps debut. Rated 100 on the Flat, she was well held at Down Royal and while capable runner-up Dame Rapide won subsequently, Goodie Two Shoes is possibly a work in progress. Lackaneen Mag and Zoomtime (under a 7lb claimer) finished second and third to Dame Rapide at Ballinrobe and have place claims again, while bumper winner Final Decision was well held on her hurdles debut. Shoot Champagne was beaten a long distance at Listowel.
Prediction : 1st Silent Approach 2nd Goodie Two Shoes 3rd Lackaneen Mag

CAOIMHES PET has been absent since disappointing in February, but was reported to have finished lame on her left fore at Clonmel and might be ready for local connections. Her form at this distance was useful last winter and while her lack of race-fitness certainly isn't ideal, she likes testing ground and contests a winnable race. Kings Halo has been off since winning in March and while he too has obvious form claims and likes testing conditions, he would prefer further. Leroy Leroy has good recent form at this level but would prefer a sound surface, a remark that also applies to Florey Spud. Portarlington's form is generally poor, but he ran reasonably well on easy ground at Bellewstown in July and was well backed when falling at the first on his next start at Cork. Four-year-old He Picked Us might have improved following a mini-break.
Prediction : 1st Caoimhes Pet 2nd Kings Halo 3rd Leroy Leroy

SOLITARY MAN bumped into Lucid Dreams over C&D last month and appears suited by this staying distance. A course winner in July, he finished well in August, with the runner-up also scoring next time. He remains open to progression and can better his rating. Gortmillish returned from 609 days off to win twice this summer, with his Downpatrick form being boosted by the runner-up, third and fifth all winning subsequently. He missed two subsequent engagements due to unsuitable going and while clearly able, would prefer a sound surface and has plenty of weight. Lake Winnipesaukee could improve at this distance, but would also prefer good ground. Winning Smut, who is 2lb 'wrong' but partnered by a 5lb claimer, ran notably well here in May, finishing third to Ebor winner Absurde. He also ran well in the Lartigue at Listowel, but might also prefer faster ground. Hartur D'arc has been well held in handicaps, although his rating has fallen.
Prediction : 1st Solitary Man 2nd Gortmillish 3rd Lake Winnipesaukee

Rain-soaked ground won't suit many but WALK OUT has form on soft and could be suited by this distance. A 10-race maiden, she has middle-distance form, ran well at Listowel, and being a five-year-old, could progress further. The forecast rain could scupper the chances of Londonofficecallin, who possibly remains ahead of the handicapper despite being raised 15lb for his Punchestown rout in June. Phils Choice has been withdrawn three times recently due to unsuitable ground and could notch the unfortunate four-timer, as heavy going won't help. Pour The Wine's form is also on good and is long absent, while On My Bike has progressed in summer handicaps but might also prefer a sound surface. Toor Moon ran well on good at Tramore, while Will It Be You showed improvement on yielding at Wexford and runs in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Walk Out 2nd Londonofficecallin 3rd Will It Be You

BYTHESAMETOKEN has won just once in 10 chases, but ran well on his recent return to fences and likes soft ground. A three-time hurdle winner, his recent form is strong and while he has top weight, he drops in grade from a useful Listowel run. Lightly-raced veteran Whatsafellatodo has overcome 271-, 927- and 366-day absences in his career and ran well on soft at the Galway Festival. However, his best form is on good ground, although he is suited by this distance. Jack Holiday's form is also on reasonable ground, but he ran well on soft over C&D in August, with today's rider claiming 5lb. Ricky Langford and stablemate Ardamir both have recent form but would prefer a sound surface. Marvel Fan has a lower chase rating but has been well held recently. Filon D'oudairies blundered at Listowel but had previously shown good form at winter venue Thurles.
Prediction : 1st Bythesametoken 2nd Whatsafellatodo 3rd Jack Holiday

TULLYHOGUE FORT is a three-time winner who continues in form, and is suited by this distance and soft ground. He defeated Likable Chancer at Tipperary in July and while 5lb worse off, has a small edge as Likable Chancer's best form is over slightly shorter and on better ground. Leish Oscars Son finished behind Likable Chancer at Listowel, while Avec Espoir ran well over a similar distance at Listowel, with Definiteadare fourth, but would prefer a sound surface. That can also be said for Glenmalure Lodge, who gained a deserved first success at Ballinrobe. Movie King is rated 7lb higher over fences but heavy ground is also concerning. Black Samurai is a C&D winner whose rating has fallen in recent times, but prefers a sound surface.
Prediction : 1st Tullyhogue Fort 2nd Likable Chancer 3rd Leish Oscars Son

CEANNDANA, successful over hurdles here in July, can get off the mark on just his second start over fences. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding was a very easy winner at Downpatrick prior to his course triumph and connections wasted little time in switching their attention to chasing back at the Ulster track on his next run. Jumping well and staying on well to finish third over a trip short of his best, the six-year-old has plenty to recommend him now. Point-to-point winner Read To Return makes a quick reappearance having just lost out over hurdles at Roscommon during the week. He has plenty of chasing experience so has to rate a danger. Battle Away, a stablemate of Ceanndana, goes chasing late in life but has a point-to-point success to her name.
Prediction : 1st Ceanndana 2nd Read To Return 3rd Battle Away
