UK Horse Racing Tips: Fairyhouse

THE RIGHT ONE made a pleasing debut when keeping on into second behind Rogue Legend over 5f at Cork last month. The winner boosted the form by following up in good style at Tipperary and the selection should be suited by this extra furlong. Arugam Bay has shown promise on both starts including when runner-up to well-backed newcomer Joyful Tidings at Tipperary, while Cortina D'amprezzo is another for the shortlist following her debut third to the impressive Ipanema Queen in a 21-runner 6f Curragh maiden with Femme Beauty three lengths behind. Blessings To You, Quiet Mutiny and Ballinamona are three newcomers to note in the market.
Prediction : 1st The Right One 2nd Arugam Bay 3rd Cortina Damprezzo

STELLA ALPINA has shown good pace on all four maiden starts and can make the breakthrough on her first step into handicap company. The selection made most of the running when runner-up to Cold Hearted at the Curragh last time and now has the benefit of Wayne Hassett's 5lb claim. Midnight Horizon benefitted from a drop down to this trip when successful on her handicap debut at the Curragh last week and is an obvious threat despite a hefty 14lb hike for that victory. Agouti Bear may have spoiled her chance by getting upset in the stalls last time, while others to consider include Smoke Them Out and Tomarlo.
Prediction : 1st Stella Alpina 2nd Midnight Horizon 3rd Agouti Bear

LAUGH A MINUTE has been a tremendous servant to Shamrock Thoroughbreds and gained a ninth career win over this trip at the Curragh in March. The forecast rain would help the veteran who again went close at Naas last time. Connections have found the key to I Bid You Ajou is running around a bend and the son of Shalaa is bidding to win over this C&D for the third week in a row. The Mark Fahey-trained gelding has been raised a total of 16lb for those two recent wins, while Gordon Bennett has tumbled down the ratings and finished strongly over a similar trip at the Curragh last time but is probably best suited by straight tracks.
Prediction : 1st Laugh A Minute 2nd I Bid You Ajou 3rd Gordon Bennett

SPIRIT OF EAGLES gained her only previous win nearly two years ago but has indicated another victory could be imminent on a number of occasions this season. Are You In Or Out also comes here in good form having scored on her reappearance at Leopardstown and again ran a cracker when up with the pace throughout over 7f at Listowel last time. Eric Lock bids to add to a narrow win over 7f at Down Royal, while My Kurkum and Jackandthefox are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Eagles 2nd Are You In Or Out 3rd Eric Lock

BRAVAIS won twice over 7f in France and appreciated a return to a similar trip when getting the better of the front-running Hurricane Ivor inside the final furlong at Tipperary last month. There shouldn't be much between the pair again with rain an obvious plus for the mud-loving Hurricane Ivor. Murkala won over this trip at the Curragh last month and receives plenty of weight including her rider's 7lb claim, while Admiral Churchill has progressed well this season and is on a hat-trick after scoring in good style at Listowel. Follow Me won twice at the Curragh last spring and may have benefitted from a winter break.
Prediction : 1st Bravais 2nd Hurricane Ivor 3rd Admiral Churchill

Delta sets the standard by virtue of his third in the Listed Yeats Stakes at Navan last time. However, that didn't look the strongest race for the grade and preference is given to SEO LINN, who has won three times in bumpers. The Paddy Twomey-trained mare won a Listed event at Cheltenham in November and following a winter break, landed a Grade 2 at Aintree. She was beaten at odds-on in a 1m2f Down Royal maiden last time but should be better suited by this trip. Factual Fact won a Thurles bumper in good style on debut but was absent for over two years until placed over this trip at Tipperary last month.
Prediction : 1st Seo Linn 2nd Delta 3rd Factual Fact

GAME PHOENIX has been placed a number of times in maiden hurdles and advertised her ability back on the Flat over 1m2f at Cork last time. She should be suited by this extra 2f and gets the vote over Fervent, who impressed here over 1m2f last Friday. The Elzaam gelding appeared to have plenty in hand but is now off an 11lb higher mark. Tatum missed most of last season but has returned in good form this term and got off the mark last time over this trip when fitted with first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Game Phoenix 2nd Fervent 3rd Tatum
