UK Horse Racing Tips: Killarney

Although unable to justify favouritism at Downpatrick in August, GALILEO SPRINGS offered plenty of encouragement on that second-placed effort. Martin Brassil's mare is open to improvement and this could prove a suitable opportunity for some compensation. Crystabel was running a sound race but for falling at the last flight here 43 days ago and is feared most, ahead of Jazzy Rock.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Springs 2nd Crystabel 3rd Jazzy Rock

A return to the Eoin McCarthy stable proved just the trick for recent Listowel winner CARLA'S PET and there could be more to come. That was the six-year-old's second outing in handicap company and she scored with enough in hand to suggest that an 8lb higher mark is manageable. Shannon Bank travelled kindly on her latest fifth over an extended 2m6f at Galway and, dropping in distance, she isn't taken lightly. Party Pack is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Carlas Pet 2nd Shannon Bank 3rd Party Pack

NELSON MUNTZ was nudged out to romp home at Kilbeggan last month and could have more to offer in this sphere. The son of Mount Nelson looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a double. Fast Felix struck in comfortable fashion in a handicap at Listowel on his most recent start and holds an obvious chance, while Friary Road is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Nelson Muntz 2nd Fast Felix 3rd Friary Road

Gaelic Des Chastys returned to winning ways over fences at Listowel on his latest outing and needs considering. Corbally Cross failed to justify favouritism when only eighth at Wexford, but he had excuses that day and might be worth another chance. However, JEKIKI showed more when making the frame in first-time cheekpieces at Listowel and goes off the same mark. If the seven-year-old is in similar form, she could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Jekiki 2nd Gaelic Des Chastys 3rd Corbally Cross

A winner over C&D off the same mark last August, DUTCH SCHULTZ still looked to be going well when falling three out at Listowel recently. Gavin Cromwell's charge can gain compensation on this occasion, with Ballinrobe second Warm In Gorey looking best placed to chase him home, despite being winless from 14 starts over fences. Mount Ferns caught the eye when third over hurdles at Listowel and he looks worth another go over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Dutch Schultz 2nd Warm In Gorey 3rd Mount Ferns

A significant improver from first to second start over fences when runner-up at Ballinrobe last time out, NASTYA sets the standard on form and she can get off the mark in this sphere for her in-form connections. Runner-up on two of his last four starts over hurdles, William Butler has a pedigree that suggests he is likely to relish a fence and is noted for his leading trainer. Stepping up in trip on her chasing bow makes Glitz And Glamour of interest too.
Prediction : 1st Nastya 2nd William Butler 3rd Glitz And Glamour

HIT THE FRAME showed steady improvement in three quick runs during August, culminating with an all-the-way success over 3m1f at Wexford. Having revelled in that pace-setting role, the improving six-year-old could again be hard to deal with despite a 7lb rise. God Help Us won over a similar trip at Ballinrobe last month and looks a key player, along with My Friend The Wind, who was third in that race.
Prediction : 1st Hit The Frame 2nd God Help Us 3rd My Friend The Wind
