UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

C&D runner-up SHANIA is improving with every start and should have the capacity to go one better. The sizeable daughter of No Nay Never was just edged out by three-quarters of a length here a year ago and with a reproduction of that form on her return, Donnacha O'Brien's filly should be scoring in this contest. The fairly consistent Quatrain can be taken to follow her home, on only her second start for Ken Condon. She is much more exposed than her rivals, but a return to maiden company may prove beneficial. Sister Lily took a step forward from her debut when fourth at Leopardstown. She can continue to improve and may hit the frame.
Prediction : 1st Shania 2nd Quatrain 3rd Sister Lily

Stephen Throne reaches for blinkers for OCEAN MANIFEST, who is the standout on official ratings. The son of Siyouni was a creditable second on debut when with Michael O'Callaghan, but hasn't really progressed. He may have needed his reappearance run in the Curragh on stable debut and can turn the tables on Lady Pagasa, who was seven and a half lengths in front of the selection when second in a Naas maiden last year. Although this performance inspired some hope, she has since failed to gain her first success at short odds and returns for her seasonal debut. Powerful Hook Head took a step forward in Dundalk on Saturday, while Piatra Neamt should improve from her decent introduction last year.
Prediction : 1st Ocean Manifest 2nd Lady Pagasa 3rd Piatra Neamt

This contest revolves around the treble-seeking OICHE RUA, who has beaten five of her reopposing rivals already. She managed to catch Spanish Temptress to win by a cosy length and a quarter after conceding first run at Limerick on Saturday. Ado McGuinness' filly is taken to uphold that form, even considering the burden of a 7lb penalty. Spanish Temptress should yet again run her race and may get closer with the help of Colin Keane. Midnight Stagger can figure for Mark Fahey on stable debut after moving from Jack Davison. The son of Galileo Gold is back on his last winning mark and any positive market signals would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Oiche Rua 2nd Spanish Temptress 3rd Midnight Stagger

ENCHANTED GARDEN faced a stiffer test on her only previous attempt over a mile and having been subsequently cut some slack by the handicapper, the daughter of Calyx looks well worth another chance with her slights lowered here. The consistent Harry The Rogue can give the selection plenty to think about if he maintains his run of good form with Sam Coen in the saddle. Zipster and Goldrush Kid are a couple of others with solid each-way prospects.
Prediction : 1st Enchanted Garden 2nd Harry The Rogue 3rd Zipster

With two runners apiece, Jessica Harrington and Joseph O'Brien launch a strong assault on this competitive heat. Harrington has won the last four renewals and MO GHILLE MAR is taken to repeat her win of 12 months ago. Without success in the interim, she is back to the same mark and can build on an encouraging effort at the Curragh recently. She is in stall three, the same gate she broke from last year. Annie's Angel catches the eye at the foot of the weights with new headgear on, while top-weight Elana Osario is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mo Ghille Mar 2nd Annies Angel 3rd Elana Osario

A little bit of a leap of faith may be required to row in behind FEUD, but the likely odds of reward make the well-bred son of Dubawi a tempting proposition. He looked a smart jumping prospect when he scored at the Galway Festival last summer. As it's transpired, he's only appeared once since, when last of those to complete the Grade 3 Grimes Hurdle recently. The positives are that he'll surely come on for that run, Dylan Browne McMonagle has been booked, the stable seems to be returning to form and his mark of 75 seems exploitable. On the back of a chasing success, Dark Note, at the foot of the weights, is a danger to all. Ragmans Corner should make a bold bid to supplement a Navan win.
Prediction : 1st Feud 2nd Dark Note 3rd Ragmans Corner

ROYAL HOLLOW and Arch Empire meet again after finding A Dream To Share too quick at Leopardstown last month. Arch Empire has been in action since, when beaten by Cheltenham Festival winner Lark In The Mornin at Bellewstown. Royal Hollow was a length and a half in front of him at Leopardstown and is taken to confirm that form, which may be good enough to secure another success for the in-form Andy Slattery team. Aidan O'Brien's sole runner on the card, the 97-rated Mont St Michel, is obviously a standout with that sort of official assessment. Putapoundinthejar and Young Churchill can at least contend for positions in the frame.
Prediction : 1st Royal Hollow 2nd Mont St Michel 3rd Young Churchill
