UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

Having had his stamina stretched by the extended 2m7f when fourth at Ballinrobe last time out, AN PEANN DEARG makes plenty of appeal on his return to today's extended 2m3f trip. A reproduction of his penultimate third over C&D could be enough to see the seven-year-old open his account. The biggest threat may emerge from chase debutant Jasko Des Dames, who has the form over hurdles to suggest he can land a race of this nature. The Lovely Man looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st An Peann Dearg 2nd Jasko Des Dames 3rd The Lovely Man

Music Of Tara arrives on the back of a fair third in a Grade 3 novice chase at Tipperary and she warrants consideration reverting to handicap company. However, WALNUT BEACH's latest performances look more solid and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings for his placed effort at Listowel could prove on the lenient side. Ballybawn Belter is attractively handicapped in this sphere compared to hurdles and Liz Doyle's mare is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Walnut Beach 2nd Music Of Tara 3rd Ballybawn Belter

Having proved underwhelming over hurdles at Downpatrick and on the level at Listowel last month, Omniscient has something to prove at present. Gordon Elliott's gelding may get back on track with first-time cheekpieces now applied, but MARCUS FURIUS rates a more compelling proposition. The five-year-old should have learned plenty from his second-placed finish on his hurdles bow at Clonmel earlier this month and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Point-to-point runner-up Taponthego is worth a market check on his Rules debut for top connections.
Prediction : 1st Marcus Furius 2nd Omniscient 3rd Taponthego

KEEP KOOL COKO has improved with every start to date and was only narrowly denied when second on his hurdling debut at Cork two weeks ago. With the benefit of that experience, he could be very hard to beat. Oh So Charming was well held last time but is a player on the pick of his form, while Paul Collins and Rue Taylor are others who make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Keep Kool Coko 2nd Oh So Charming 3rd Paul Collins

AURORA VEGA did not have much to beat when scoring on her hurdling debut at Cork in August, but she did it very easily and could prove to be a class above the opposition once again here. Saddle Her Up has struggled on her most recent starts but would be a player if bouncing back to the form that saw her win at Fairyhouse in January, while We Got This should not be underestimated on her return.
Prediction : 1st Aurora Vega 2nd Saddle Her Up 3rd We Got This

JACENRY was closing on the leaders when he took a tumble two out in a deeper race over fences at Galway 19 days ago and has been found a decent opportunity to atone for that mishap now back over timber. Inthenickoftime won over 2m1f here in August and, having also ran with credit when third at Sligo most recently, he rates a serious player given he is unexposed at the trip. Duke Silver and Onefortheditch complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jacenry 2nd Inthenickoftime 3rd Duke Silver

WORKING AWAY won her solitary start on the point-to-point scene and is very interesting on her Rules debut, given her powerful owners went to 330,000 pounds to secure her services at Cheltenham's November 2022 auction. This looks a good starting point for the daughter of Workforce, who is a half-sister to four winners over a variety of trips. The betting should be informative to the chances of Glens Lullaby, Dancing Dame and Nothing Hectic, who all have experience in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Working Away 2nd Glens Lullaby 3rd Dancing Dame
