3:15 Fairyhouse Tips

A weak-looking race which would favor a horse that's more consistent than others. Live To Laugh fits the bill from the P Fahey yard. Each-way shot.

Caught the eye last time after a luckless run when finishing full of running. Ground conditions are ideal, and a repeat of that effort puts him firmly in the mix. The stable's form is improving, and this looks his ideal set up. Major win contender, capable of going very close with a clear passage.

Gentle Annie makes her handicap debut here after 3 starts in Maiden Company. After two unplaced runs at Ballinrobe and Listowel, she ran much better when 3rd at Tramore last month. She was beaten less than 3 lengths when just outpaced from the last. That was over 2 miles, and the step up to 2m4f looks sure to bring improvement. She looks on a fair mark with John Shinnock claiming 3 lbs. She looks like a good EW bet with 5 places on offer.

Cian Collins 5 year old Mare LEAH'S CONTESSA looks like she's screaming for Testing ground after being truly humbled in deeper & quick ground contests. This Daughter of CALIFET has ran well here @Fairyhouse previously winning a maiden contest & finished 3rd here in April both over this trip & both on testing ground. Jockey Eoin Staples 7lb claim pulls this charges makes this charge potentially very competitive. Rainfall, weight pull, drop in class & a return here are enough for me to nail my colours to the mast with this Mare.

Shane Ryder's EL REGALO ran a blunder LTO in his first handicap run. He didn’t do a whole pile in three maidens but outran his odds here, beaten 5 lengths into 6th of 16 at 50/1. He stuck to the task well and gave the impression that a jump in trip today would suit. He has snippets of flat form on soft and heavy going on the flat from last season for Emmet Mullins. Ticks a few boxes if it’s a going day.
