UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

A drop back to a sprint trip worked the oracle for NEZEEH at Cork and that gives him every chance in this claimer. Dylan O'Connor's 10lb claim eases the joint top-weight's burden and leaves him nicely weighted against his rivals. Devil's Angel is another recent winner who enters the equation. He beat a big field at Navan and is well drawn in stall one. Colin Keane is a notable booking for Lismacbryan Hill, who should be monitored for market strength. I Bid You Ajou has snippets of form that entitle him to respect in this company.
Prediction : 1st Nezeeh 2nd Devils Angel 3rd Lismacbryan Hill

SAPPHIRE PRINCESS has shown more than enough to suggest that a maiden should soon be within her grasp. The Kingman filly has been placed in both maidens she has contested in Cork and the form looks strong. The horse who beat her into second on debut has since been placed in a Group 3, while the winner of her latest race went on to be fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last weekend. Sun Soldier offered plenty to work with when a promising second on debut behind the favourite in a Navan maiden, while Gypsy Queen came home a never-nearer fifth on her first outing in Limerick and should improve upon that result.
Prediction : 1st Sapphire Princess 2nd Sun Soldier 3rd Gypsy Queen

GAZELLE D'OR appeals after being dropped 3lb for finishing a decent third in a much higher grade at Naas. She certainly knows where the winning post is having landed three of her previous five races, and Billy Lee comes in for the ride for the first time. No Return was just over a length behind her in fourth in that Naas sprint. He gets first-time cheekpieces and can go well. Misappropriation didn't show her true colours on her seasonal reappearance at the Curragh, but could bounce back under a promising 7lb claimer. Red Veil makes her handicap debut off a long absence and shouldn't be a back-marker.
Prediction : 1st Gazelle Dor 2nd No Return 3rd Misappropriation

JACKIE BROWN caught the eye coming from a long way back for sixth at the Curragh. She is a former winner over a similar trip at this track. Havana Notion ought to be competitive off a mark of 46. He's had a stint on the Polytrack in Dundalk, which yielded a best finish of third in March. On his penultimate start on turf, he won an apprentice handicap in Tipperary off a rating of 55. Step Back In Time is also on a more-than-fair mark and it was just three runs back that she delivered in Navan. Navorrosse showed that her next turn may not be far away when placed in Navan and Gowran Park.
Prediction : 1st Jackie Brown 2nd Havana Notion 3rd Step Back In Time

TAM LIN scored at Bellewstown in April and had excuses on his next two starts when he wasn't at his best on heavy ground in Gowran Park and then when the trip looked too far in Sligo. He usually races prominently so Jamie Powell will need to get him away well from stall 16. Northern Attitude showed a lot more in second on her handicap debut at Roscommon and the blinkers that were deployed there are retained. Great Mover could be a factor after a couple of placed efforts over further last season. Spent All Me Money was a ready winner of a claiming maiden in Roscommon, which has earned him top weight on his first venture into a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Tam Lin 2nd Northern Attitude 3rd Great Mover

Sea The Stars filly STEP TO SOMEWHERE kept on without threatening in third at Navan last month and can improve upon that. It was her seasonal reappearance and winners have come out of the race. Breathe Again posted her best result to date when third over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park and there could be more to come from Sheila Lavery's charge, while Alto Sax won a claimer over C&D a year ago and ran well in second when last seen over 1m in Leopardstown. Rockbury Lad finished behind him in fifth there, but has ability and won on his penultimate appearance in Bellewstown. He looks well worth another go at this trip.
Prediction : 1st Step To Somewhere 2nd Breathe Again 3rd Alto Sax

FLYING FORTRESS was professional when winning on stable debut at Ballinrobe and could go in again. He showed ability in Britain when trained by James Owen as he finished runner-up on two occasions at Yarmouth. Winston Junior is a horse to note making his handicap bow. He has attracted support in three maiden outings, with best finishes of fifth at Galway and the Curragh. He competes off a mark of 71 with Keithen Kennedy's 5lb claim factored in. A step up in trip and a drop into claiming company, with first-time cheekpieces, saw Fantazy Man take the spoils in Ballinrobe. He has to give weight away, but that was a solid performance and he could be progressive.
Prediction : 1st Flying Fortress 2nd Winston Junior 3rd Fantazy Man
