Thursday – 31st May 2018

A lot like our selections run yesterday – it’s abject fodder on offer at Hamilton & Lingfield. The only race of real interest being the 15.40 at Lingfield that has turned into a 6 runner with Colonel Frank one we backed LTO for a 12/1 place at Ripon…..he should go close and on offer at around 4’s stepped up  slightly. He battled when when headed at Newmarket in that last run almost getting back at the winner, Mountain Rescue.

There’s the speedmeisters views on Fairyhouse for those wanting some Irish action to ad to the above.

Analyst’s Verdict:
A potential match between stablemates Talk Now and Hyperlapse, the former the preferred choice on these terms.

Analyst’s Verdict:
Battle of Jericho is very much the one to beat back in calmer waters, with My Silver Nails perhaps the one to follow him home.

6.50 Foran Equine Irish European Breeders Fund Auction Maiden 6f 
Rating of previous winners: – 103 93 97 106 (Avg 100)

Analyst’s Verdict:
Palabres was unable to justify market support on debut at Navan last month, yet she arguably wasn’t seen to best effect and kept on well enough without being knocked about. She looks a sure-fire improver moving forward and gets the narrow vote to come out on top. Newcomers Rhosgobel, Heavenly Rainbow and Saltillo all require market attention though, whilst Cruella Dovil is no forlorn hope either.

7.20 Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden 6f

Analyst’s Verdict:
Excelling Spirit shaped very well when runner-up in a big field at the Curragh on debut 3 weeks ago and is narrowly preferred to Elegant Drama, who sets a high standard.

7.50 toals.com Bookmakers Handicap 7f

Analyst’s Verdict:
Namazee shaped quite nicely when a close fourth on her Dundalk handicap debut/reappearance at the start of this month and is taken to build on that now. Art of America is a likely threat on the back of a good second at Tipperary last month, while Waitingfortheday is a likely improver now handicapping up in trip for Joseph O’Brien.

8.20 Next Meeting At Fairyhouse June 15th Apprentice Handicap 1¼m

Analyst’s Verdict:
Camile remains well treated on old form so should continue to give a good account for her current yard. Happy Company is feared now he’s found some form again, along with handicapdebutant Los Alamos.

8.50 Fairyhouse Special Offers Fillies Maiden 1¼m 
Rating of previous winners: 89 94 83 88 93 (Avg 89)

Analyst’s Verdict:
Athena bumped into a leading Oaks fancy at Newbury 12 days ago and she sets a very high standard on that form. She’ll take plenty of stopping, though Samasthiti, Laajidaal and Tissiak are a trio of likely improvers.
