7:22 Ballinrobe Tips

So long as the dreaded bounce doesn't come into play. Recent Gowran winner Majestic King, which won eased down, looked well ahead of its mark and should go in again.

The market leader looks a little too short here, so for some better each-way value I am going to back Jawhary, who won last time out. A run like that again could go close.

Fifth last month at Limerick and was third in the last two runs last year at Musselburgh and Killarney. Encouraging of late, and with four places on offer in this handicap, I am tipping Sayidah New Bay at Ballinrobe.

At current odds I'll chance this horse as his handicap mark is now just a pound above his last winning mark. He racked up a hat-trick last summer but paid the price with penalties. As well as falling to a more competitive mark, today's ground will also suit better than on his recent runs. Another risky each-way.

He stands a chance of placing at 40/1 at this track, owing to the favourable steep uphill climb and downhill finish that cater to fast types. After previously finishing 3rd at this course, he is now dropping in trip, with trainer Brian Cawley pointing out his ability to sustain speed and finish strongly.
