UK Horse Racing Tips: Tipperary

SHE'S QUALITY is the highest rated runner in the line-up and looks the one to beat. Tried in Group 1 company on two occasions as a juvenile, the Jack Davison-trained bay has been in fine form of late, filling the runner-up spot in a Listed contest at Cork in May. She readily accounted for seven rivals on her handicap debut at Down Royal last month and she'll be well-fancied to follow-up. Beaten by just half-a-length on her penultimate start at the Curragh, Majestic Beauty might be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Royal Ascot. Last of 28 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes, she is now fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Gabrielle's Spirit has a course and distance win to her name and warrants respect with Keithen Kennedy claiming a valuable 7lb, while recent Cork victor Zara Ellis is another leading hope.
Prediction : 1st Shes Quality 2nd Majestic Beauty 3rd Gabriellas Spirit

POWERFUL NATION is the suggestion in this competitive Listed affair. Beaten by a short head on debut at Cork, he went a place better on his next start at the Mallow venue, with subsequent winners in second and third. The Windsor Castle was then mooted as an option for the Sioux Nation bay, but he comes here fresh after skipping that Royal Ascot heat. Treasure Isle, Celtic Chieftain and Sir Yoshi are three who did line-up in the Windsor Castle, with the David Marnane-trained latter a highly respectable seventh of 27. The Mehmas colt already has a course and distance win to his name and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to strike again. The aforementioned Celtic Chieftain and Treasure Isle both flopped at Royal Ascot and are on a retrieval mission, with Ryan Moore staying loyal to the latter. Proudly Yours and Bath winner Lady With The Lamp are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Powerful Nation 2nd Sir Yoshi 3rd Treasure Isle

CUBAN GREY has been a model of consistency in recent months and looks the safest option in this open contest. No worse than fourth on his last five starts, the 59-rated grey was successful over the course and distance in May and went down by just a neck when last seen at Down Royal. Havana Notion (won this race last year) and Realtin Fantasy dead-heated for third when half-a-length behind the selection at the Northern Ireland venue, and it'll come as no surprise if either manage to reverse the form. Ginormous hit the crossbar at Naas last week and will be well-fancied to go a place better, while Babyface (first time hood), who was fifth in that Naas heat, is another capable of making his presence felt. Adrian McGuinness is represented by I'm Spartacus and She's Smart and they both look to have solid claims.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Grey 2nd Havana Notion 3rd Ginormous

SURPASS, who holds an entry in the National Stakes at the Curragh in September, showed a nice attitude to win on debut over the course and distance in May and he looks capable of following-up now. The Saxon Warrior colt is sure to have learned plenty from his initial outing, coming from off the pace before staying on well in the closing stages to prevail by a neck. Named after the late Lady O'Reilly, Lady O is the only filly in the line-up. A 30,000-euro purchase at the Goffs Orby Sale, the Australia bay was successful on debut at Roscommon, with subsequent Listowel winner Elzem back in third. Declared to run at Roscommon on Tuesday, Leopardstown fourth Runninsonofagun is an interesting contender for Tony Mullins, while newcomer Dakota Blue, who also holds an National Stakes entry, completes the line-up.
Prediction : 1st Surpass 2nd Lady O 3rd Dakota Blue

The in-foal ONE BOSS might be able to follow-up on her recent Limerick success. On what was her debut for Willie McCreery, the Saxon Warrior four-year-old came in for plenty of market support and was value for more than the winning margin of a length. McCreery also saddles Morning Approach in this 10-runner affair and the three-time winner is not without her chance. Katie Bairdie put in a career best performance when second at Limerick last month and while no match for the progressive Quadruple, she had some useful types in behind. Red Heel, who won for the sixth time at Down Royal, is sure to have plenty of supporters in her bid to follow-up, while Leopardstown winner Oriental Dancer and top-weight Drop The Dip are others worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st One Boss 2nd Katie Bairdie 3rd Red Heel

A case can be made for plenty of these, with HELP ME RHONDA the suggestion. An eyecatcher at Fairyhouse and Gowran, she was last seen finishing third in a stronger contest at Limerick, with the 77-rated September Leaves a place behind. While clearly not one of the leading lights at Ballydoyle, Gushing should be able to make her presence felt in a contest of this quality. Fifth of 15 at Leopardstown on her latest start, she might benefit from the application of a tongue-strap. Mapa ran well to finish fourth at Limerick last month and is of definite interest on her handicap debut, while others for the shortlist are Glimmerglass, Leopardstown winner Koniag and the lowly-rated Highland Bells.
Prediction : 1st Help Me Rhonda 2nd Gushing 3rd Mapa

It might be worth taking a chance on BIGZ BELIEF in this weak affair. Better known for his exploits over flights, the seven-year-old returns to the level for the first time since November. While he hasn't been setting the world alight of late, he is a four time winner and can make an impact here off a mark of 49. Elsa's Pride and Black Soul are more obvious contenders, with the former just failing to get up at Fairyhouse on her most recent start. A winner at Cork last season, the 61-rated four-year-old will be well-fancied to take this. Black Soul filled the runner-up spot over the course and distance in August of last year, finishing seventh on his recent return to action at Limerick. The highest rated runner in the field, it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Hinemoa, Struck By Churchill and Crypto Crash are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bigz Belief 2nd Elsas Pride 3rd Black Soul
