UK Horse Racing Tips: Tipperary

Denis Hogan's THECOMPANYSERGEANT should be good enough to record a first win over fences. Runner-up in a Grade 3 at Thurles in March, the seven-year-old was fourth in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse on his next start. Although a beaten favourite at Kilbeggan on his return last month, the gelding may just have needed that run. Genois has yet to win from 12 attempts over fences but the Enda Bolger-trained eight-year-old has plenty of valuable experience. Implicit was beaten with over a circuit to run on her chasing debut at Tramore last month. Sent off odds-on for that contest, the Willie Mullins-trained mare clearly didn't give her true running.
Prediction : 1st Thecompanysergeant 2nd Genois 3rd Implicit

GREAT BEAR has been a consistent sort since switching his attention to chasing and the eight-year-old ran his best race to date when going down by just a short head last time. Raised 3lb subsequently, the son of Dansili should have more to offer. Bythesametoken may have needed his reappearance at Aintree in April but shaped much better when third at Ballinrobe last time. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained Fame And Glory gelding is a former course winner who is suited to a flat track such as this. Time Marches On won over course and distance on his penultimate start. Pulled up last time, he needs to recapture that earlier form if he is to be a contender.
Prediction : 1st Great Bear 2nd Bythesametoken 3rd Time Marches On

ERNIE FROM NURNEY looks very well treated here off a chase mark which is 14lb below his hurdle rating. The seven-year-old reverts to fences here having won his latest two starts over flights. Prior to that, he had run very well when third over the larger obstacles at Thurles. The Tramore winner Prince Of Air should again be competitive despite having been hit with a 7lb rise for that success. Likeable Chancer, a point-to-point and chase winner, has been running well over hurdles in recent months. Back over fences for the first time since October, the gelding enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Ernie From Nurney 2nd Prince Of Air 3rd Likable Chancer

FARROKH was a winner here over hurdles in May and the Barry Connell-trained gelding has subsequently run well in beginners chases over further. With the five-year-old giving the impression that he is better suited to two miles, he has to be of interest here. Recent Clonmel winner Druim Samhraidh could have more to offer on his first start for trainer Paul Flynn. The veteran won with something in hand that day, so a 6lb rise may not inconvenience him. Limerick winner Crowsatedappletart can still race off a mark which is 4lb below his hurdle rating and should be capable of making his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Farrokh 2nd Druim Samhraidh 3rd Crowsatedappletart

A winner of his latest two starts over fences, KILMURRY JJ can complete the hat-trick. A promising horse over hurdles for his previous connections, the seven-year-old has really blossomed since switching to fences. Although this represents a tougher ask, especially without his regular jockey on board, the gelding could be up to the job. Tullyveery Lad improved on previous efforts when a good winner at Downpatrick last time. While this track presents a very different test, the eight-year-old arrives here at the top of his game. All Walks Of Life disappointed at Listowel last time but had run well on her previous start at Clonmel.
Prediction : 1st Kilmurry Jj 2nd Tullyveery Lad 3rd All Walks Of Life

The Willie Mullins-trained JUDICIEUSE ALLEN has strong claims of making a winning debut over fences. The daughter of Great Pretender has been highly tried in graded company and this represents an easier opportunity for her to record a second career success. Listed winner Space Tourist has been absent since December but that is seldom a concern with runners from the Mullins yard. Media Naranja looks the pick of two Gordon Elliott mares.
Prediction : 1st Judicieuse Allen 2nd Space Tourist 3rd Media Naranja

Three-time winner THEONEWEDREAMOF made a promising introduction to chasing when staying on late to finish third at Kilbeggan last time. Given that she was having her first start since December, the daughter of French Navy should be all the better for that outing. Our Bobby, a winner over hurdles at Listowel last time, arrives here in great form. The gelding shaped well on two previous runs over fences so should be capable of getting involved. Arabian King also commands respect on his first start over fences.
Prediction : 1st Theonewedreamof 2nd Our Bobby 3rd Arabian King

Although finding one too good on each of his last four starts over fences, DUTCH SCHULTZ can reward supporters patience. A three-time winner, the son of Golden Horn is nicely treated by these race conditions, while the small field is unlikely to trouble him. Point-to-point winner Mayor's Walk made a winning start to her chasing career at Limerick in May. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare has to concede weight to a trio of rivals but could prove up to the task. Slip Of The Tongue is undoubtedly well in at these weights but the seven-year-old has been below his best in recent times. However, given the excellent form of trainer Padraig Roche, a revival wouldn't be out of the question.
Prediction : 1st Dutch Schultz 2nd Mayors Walk 3rd Slip Of The Tongue
