UK Horse Racing Tips: Listowel

Starting off over flights, bumper winners RIPSNORTER and Blue Waters appear the ones to focus on. The former was successful at Roscommon last month and has since joined the Co. Laois yard of Bill Lanigan, with Danny Mullins a positive jockey booking. Making the breakthrough at Ballinrobe on her penultimate start, with a subsequent winner in second, Blue Waters is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Dschingis Dragon, Oneinthewell (first-time cheekpieces) and dual Flat winner Brosna Town. Louiescall finished ninth in the Lartigue over C&D on Thursday and has definite claims if turned out again quickly.
Prediction : 1st Ripsnorter 2nd Blue Waters 3rd Dschingis Dragon

STRONG LINK has gone from strength to strength since making the breakthrough at Wexford in May and he is undoubtedly the one to beat. An easy winner on his debut over flights at Tipperary, he then followed up at Galway, with Cameletta Vega a length and a quarter behind in second. The Willie Mullins-trained mare is 5lb better off, though, so can be expected to close the gap. Although his winning streak came to an end at Kilbeggan, Ballykinlar still warrants the utmost respect with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb. Mick Collins and Kainsbourg were disappointing when last seen at Ballinrobe and Roscommon respectively, but are capable of making an impact.
Prediction : 1st Strong Link 2nd Cameletta Vega 3rd Ballykinlar

DREAL DEAL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. Having tumbled down the handicap, the former Grade 2 winner bounced back to form when successful over fences on his debut for Philip Rothwell at Killarney. He lost little in defeat when second at the same venue latest and back over the smaller obstacles, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Willie Mullins' handicap debutant Sysko is sure to have plenty of supporters and could prove nicely treated off an initial mark of 122. Redwood Queen is of definite interest with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb, while others to note include Millstream Lady, Grann's Boy and A Law Of Her Own.
Prediction : 1st Dreal Deal 2nd Sysko 3rd Redwood Queen

The subject of a gamble on his stable debut at Kilbeggan recently, RISING DUST was cruelly denied by an 80/1 outsider. Considering it was his first run in over a year, the seven-year-old is entitled to step forward from that effort and if attracting support again, he could prove hard to beat. First and second at Wexford last month, Stone Forest and Corkbeg will both have their supporters, while Toor Moon is also noted. Set for a quick turnaround after finishing third here on Wednesday, Dunany Point remains of interest, while others for the shortlist in this competitive heat are handicap debutant Rizedda and Galway runner-up Oogum Boogum.
Prediction : 1st Rising Dust 2nd Stone Forest 3rd Corkbeg

Striking with Howya Luveen and Bythesametoken in recent weeks, Ross O'Sullivan and the Downtown Syndicate are on a roll. They combine with TALK IN THE PARK and this seven-year-old is of definite interest on his first try in handicap chase company. Beaten just three-quarters of a length into second in a good contest at Galway on his latest start, he had some useful performers in behind. Starting off for Eric McNamara, Weveallbeencaught and Supreme Gift are of definite interest and it'll come as no surprise if either manages to prevail. Runner-up on his last three starts, Antrim Coast certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn, while the likeable Mousey Brown and wide-margin Tramore winner El Champo are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Talk In The Park 2nd Weveallbeencaught 3rd Supreme Gift

Second and third in the corresponding event 12 months ago, Decimation and Meehall both appear to hold solid claims once again. However, although the pair warrant the utmost respect, DORANS LAW is preferred. Representing last year's winning connections, the seven-year-old was successful at Wexford in July and despite not showing that same level of form since, a first-time tongue-tie could elicit the required improvement. Towards the top of the handicap, Backmersackme and Lonesome Boatman must be of interest, while UK raider Easy Bucks is another to consider in this competitive affair.
Prediction : 1st Dorans Law 2nd Decimation 3rd Easy Bucks

STARTING FIFTEEN remains a maiden after just two starts, but he has the ability to take this. A fine second in Listed company on debut, he then finished third of 24 at the Punchestown Festival in April, where he had subsequent dual bumper winner Galileo Sand a place behind. An easy winner over course and distance in May, Samba Train is sure to have plenty of supporters, while it'll be interesting to see how Casterly Rock fares, as he bids to complete a unique opening/closing day Harvest Festival double. Off the mark in fine style last month, Parnell Street is another leading contender, while Kilbeggan scorer Jisco De Brem will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Galway.
Prediction : 1st Starting Fifteen 2nd Samba Train 3rd Parnell Street
