UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

With no standout name in the line-up, the five newcomers are of definite interest and it'll be significant if any of them are strong in the market. Gavin Cromwell saddles two of the debutants and both warrant the utmost respect, with Ailbhe Ava out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Feathard Lady. Shing Shang Lily could prove the best of the three Cian Collins representatives, with this one out of a five-time winner in Lily Shing Shang. On an identical mark of 100, GAME PHOENIX and No More Silver set the standard. The former has been placed three times from six starts over flights and should be able to put her experience to good use. Disappointing when the subject of good market support at Ballinrobe on her latest outing, No More Silver will need to bounce back from that effort if she is to feature.
Prediction : 1st Game Phoenix 2nd Ailbhe Ava 3rd Shing Shang Lily

Caoimhe O'Brien made the breakthrough on Hey Babbs over the course and distance just under a fortnight ago, and her brother Paddy now takes over in the saddle. The Dermot McLoughlin-trained five-year-old went up just 6lb for that recent win and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up. For a selection, it might be worth siding with CLUB MANAGER. A good fourth in a stronger contest on his most recent try over flights, he will be ably assisted by Alex Harvey who claims a valuable 5lb. Starting off in handicap company, both Doctor Confusion and Irina's Path are of definite interest.
Prediction : 1st Club Manager 2nd Hey Babbs 3rd Doctor Confusion

Starting off over fences, Speculatrix is sure to have plenty of supporters, with Jack Kennedy opting to partner this course winner over the 130-rated Harsh. While not one of the leading lights at Closutton, Mr Escobar can't be discounted, with West Away and Rauzan others capable of making an impact. For a selection, HMS SEAHORSE gets the nod. The locally-trained seven-year-old bounced back to form when successful in first time blinkers at Clonmel in June and since lost little in defeat when second on his chasing debut.
Prediction : 1st Hms Seahorse 2nd Speculatrix 3rd Mr Escobar

Bidding to complete a hat-trick at this Bettyville circuit, CROWSATEDAPPLETART is difficult to oppose. In the form of his life at present, he has finished no worse than fourth in his last nine starts. Now up to a career high mark of 106, the likeable eight-year-old might still be ahead of the handicapper. Not far behind the selection a fortnight ago and better off at the weights now, it'll come as no surprise if Finnians Row manages to reverse the form. Fourth and fifth when last seen at Tipperary, Birdsandthebees and A Nod To Getaway are both capable of making an impact.
Prediction : 1st Crowsatedappletart 2nd Finnians Row 3rd Birdsandthebees

A dual course and distance winner and successful in this very race 12 months ago, OUTSIDE THE DOOR is the selection. His recent efforts read very well and with Peter Smithers claiming a valuable 7lb, he can be expected to go close. Not beaten far when fourth over flights at Bellewstown last month, Tullyveery Lad is capable of making an impact, while Sea Aster looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair, with Jack Kennedy opting to partner this four-time winner.
Prediction : 1st Outside The Door 2nd Tullyveery Lad 3rd Sea Aster

A three-time winner over hurdles, WOODSTREAM LAD can exploit his lower chase rating. Given that he has only had the three starts over fences, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding remains open to further improvement in this sphere. Time Marches On is almost certainly a better chaser and the nine-year-old has plenty of experience at this level. Third over course and distance last month, Bynx should be capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Woodstream Lad 2nd Time Marches On 3rd Bynx

A half-sister to two winners, the Willie Mullins-trained MAHON FALLS catches the eye. Given that one of those aforementioned siblings made a winning bumper debut for the same stable, the four-year-old is bred for the job. The experienced Beir Bua looks the main threat. Twice placed from three starts, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly also ran well when fourth at Cork on her only other appearance. Miss Guiry, who was just in front of Beir Bua at Cork, should also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Mahon Falls 2nd Beir Bua 3rd Miss Guiry
