UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

A LAW OF HER OWN won a bumper and handicap hurdle for Peter Fahey and, following a spell with Dan Skelton, has rejoined the Monasterevin trainer this year. The point-to-point winner has been placed on all three starts since switched to fences, including when third to Pink In The Park in a Listed race at Clonmel on Thursday. Air Drop likes to force the pace and has been placed twice since sent chasing but appears held by the selection on a line through San Salvador. Nara kept good company in juvenile hurdles last term but fell on her chasing debut at Sligo last month.
Prediction : 1st A Law Of Her Own 2nd Air Drop 3rd Nara

THE GREAT UNKNOWN showed promise in maiden hurdles and made a bright start over fences when prominent throughout and beating all bar Brave Adam (the pair finished clear of the remainder) over 2m7f at Killarney last month. The selection hails from a yard in good form and is now fitted with cheekpieces. This race is restricted to horses rated 109 or less over hurdles and Due Course, successful on his penultimate start over this trip at Punchestown, just falls into the race criteria. Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner Tell Nobody Nothin is another to consider, along with Be Fierce and Cosmo Renfro, who both won over hurdles last time.
Prediction : 1st The Great Unknown 2nd Due Course 3rd Tell Nobody Nothin

GAELIC ARC made most when landing a valuable 2m1f handicap at Killarney in July and the front-runner only gave best in the closing stages when runner-up to Shecouldbeanything in a 2m4f Grade 3 novice at Tipperary. He should be suited by this drop in trip after a below-par effort over 2m4f at Cork last weekend. The Big Chap found Grade 2 company too hot at Down Royal last time but previously had Railway Hurricane nearly six lengths back in third when scoring over 2m3f at Limerick. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding can't be discounted lightly, having made a mistake two out on that occasion and he now enjoys a 7lb swing in the weights.
Prediction : 1st Gaelic Arc 2nd Railway Hurricane 3rd The Big Chap

LE BUGISTE won three times in France, all over staying trips, including when making all in a 15-runner 1m6f Vichy handicap in July, and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to Kazakh D'arthel, who was runner-up at the Listowel Festival before disappointing at Wexford. Casheldale Lad scored on debut for Andrew Kinirons in a 1m1f Punchestown maiden nearly 14 months ago and now reappears over hurdles for powerful connections. Pearl Of Australia won a 1m2f Roscommon maiden last year and is another making his debut over hurdles, along with 1m1f Tipperary handicap winner Status Green.
Prediction : 1st Le Bugiste 2nd Casheldale Lad 3rd Pearl Of Australia

ADDRAGOOLE has bumped into some useful sorts of late and can gain a deserved win. The Gatewood gelding chased home Sporting Glory on his return to hurdling at Galway last time, giving way going to the last and running a fine race in defeat. His fitness advantage could prove the key now. Gordon Elliott runs Gigginstown gelding Jersey Des Brosses, who may do better over obstacles. The French-bred dramatically unshipped his rider when last seen in a Bellewstown bumper back in April. Workahead was a cosy winner of his point-to-point and commands respect on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead.
Prediction : 1st Addragoole 2nd Jersey Des Brosses 3rd Workahead

SERIENMOND ran a big race on his handicap debut at Tramore last month and dropping back in trip should suit now. The Sea The Moon gelding soon went clear that day and was only nabbed late on by Rampere West. Off a 3lb higher mark, he looks capable of winning a race of this standard. Disco Dancer has been knocking on the door and was a solid third at Downpatrick last time. She is entitled to be thereabouts again. Marlpark won his maiden hurdle at Clonmel in good style 16 days ago and, despite going up 12lb, he could be competitive now in handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Serienmond 2nd Disco Dancer 3rd Marlpark

Not the strongest looking contest and DELIAS PET may be able to defy a 7lb penalty for her success at Fairyhouse on Tuesday. The Tim Doyle-trained mare was value for a bit more than her winning margin and probably didn't have too hard of a race. Stowaway Lass ran well when fourth at Galway on her last outing and dropping back in trip may help her now. Realtin Lonrach has run solid races on her last couple of outings and could be place material.
Prediction : 1st Delias Pet 2nd Stowaway Lass 3rd Realtin Lonrach

Stepping up in trip now may help BALLYCOMMON CHAPEL. She has run well on her last couple of outings over two miles and stayed on nicely to finish second on her penultimate start here. Off just a 2lb higher mark, there looks to be a race in her. Bowgate Street attempts to follow up on her Sligo success just over two weeks ago. She was a game winner that day but a 6lb rise makes life a bit tougher. Yorkshire Escape hasn't run too badly in maiden hurdles recently and is one to note on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Ballycommon Chapel 2nd Bowgate Street 3rd Yorkshire Escape
