UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

MOONHALL CHURCH steps up to seven furlongs for the first time and has the champion jockey on board. She has run creditably in all three starts and was on a slower part of the track when a couple of places behind Kurrawa at Navan earlier in the month. She may be able to turn around the form with that rival who showed much improved form when staying on well for third place on the favoured stands' side after being off the bridle from an early stage. The daughter of Tamayuz should be suited by a return to this trip. Kitty Bear finished well when placed in a nursery over this distance at Down Royal and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Moonhall Church 2nd Kurrawa 3rd Kitty Bear

STORM AVERTED was sent off a big price for last week's debut over 1m1f at Punchestown where she indicated ability when being beaten less than five lengths in mid-division. This drop in trip may not be ideal but she may well take a good step forward from that first outing. Supreme Success had a couple of these rivals behind when second over this trip at Gowran earlier in the month. That was a big step up on her two previous outings and any further improvement will see her go close. Declaree sets the standard after a string of placed efforts but the 78-rated daughter of Fastnet Rock is vulnerable to less exposed types.
Prediction : 1st Storm Averted 2nd Supreme Success 3rd Declaree

Not the deepest of contests and the consistent FIVECROMWELLPLACE, turned out quickly having been in action on Friday, may get another turn. A winner on handicap debut at Dundalk in the spring, he has been placed in four of his five starts since and has plenty of tactical speed which should be an advantage around here. The Bear Trap is searching for a first win but has been runner-up five times and has shown an ability to run well fresh, so his absence since early June is not a concern. Glamorously, who did well at two, has come down to a competitive mark and her recent form over this trip puts her in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Fivecromwellplace 2nd The Bear Trap 3rd Glamorously

NELDA was a promising type for Jessica Harrington and made short work of inferior rivals when fitted with cheekpieces on stable debut at Killarney in July. Paddy Twomey has given her plenty of time and the daughter of Dark Angel could be on a nice mark for this handicap debut. Nightcliff, a Curragh maiden winner at two, had respectable form at stakes level last year and should have come on from her stable debut at Tipperary which was her first run in over a year. She is another entering handicap company for the first time. Vivienda is fitted with blinkers after narrowly defeating C&D maiden winner Four Blondes at Gowran and the latter is preferred in their rematch.
Prediction : 1st Nelda 2nd Nightcliff 3rd Four Blondes

It's possible that nursery winner RUDI'S APPLE may be slightly flattered by his three-figure mark but his Group 3 third at the Curragh behind improving sprinter Ides Of March is good form in the context of this Listed heat. That came on fast ground and the son of No Nay Never should take a bit of beating with underfoot conditions likely to be similar. Itsatenfromlen beat a subsequent Listed winner when scoring for the second time at Chantilly and is fitted with a tongue-tie after an absence of three months. Easy Mover and Vingegaard both made the running when finishing fourth at stakes level last time and the former may be suited by cutting back to this trip from 7f.
Prediction : 1st Rudis Apple 2nd Itsatenfromlen 3rd Easy Mover

The Emmet Mullins-trained RED CHARLIE is a somewhat speculative suggestion on handicap debut. Having raced too free on his first couple of runs, the War Of Will gelding was held up in order to help him settle at the Curragh last time. With that objective achieved, he could be a different proposition back over 6f here. Curragh nursery winner King Thistle is 7lb higher now but travelled nicely throughout that latter race so might have a little more to offer even off this revised mark. South Shore Island, who was sent off favourite on his racecourse debut over course and distance back in June, could be capable of better in first-time cheekpieces. James Ryan takes a valuable 3lb off the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt.
Prediction : 1st Red Charlie 2nd King Thistle 3rd South Shore Island

Back in the bottom grade for the first time since winning over course and distance in May, the Michael Grassick-trained AMANIRENAS can register a sixth career success. Having raced over a mile on her latest two starts, the five-year-old should appreciate returning to sprinting. The cheekpieces which were left off on her most recent outing have also been reapplied here. Gegenpressing, who suffered a nightmare passage when fourth behind the selection here in May, should also be better over 6f having raced over the minimum trip in recent outings. Blue Wood is interesting with champion jockey Colin Keane a significant booking and he could go well if turned out quickly following his Gowran Park second on Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Amanirenas 2nd Gegenpressing 3rd Blue Wood
