4:35 Fairyhouse Tips

Hasn't been getting the rub of the green recently. Up 3lb after last time where he ran much better than the bare result and is threatening to come good soon.

Makes handicap debut off what looks like a decent mark of 62. She has been ridden with handicaps in mind, not at all given a hard time last time.

Winner at Naas in July, Rosato has followed up with two excellent placed efforts in big field handicaps finishing late on full of running. Good run last time from poor draw. The step up from six to seven furlongs looks likely to suit. Three wins from 13 career starts and soft ground is fine. Raven's Pass filly out of Dream Ahead mare is worth trying at seven furlongs. Drawn stall 8.

Achieved a 3rd place finish in a similar race at Galway last month, competing 5lb higher. Came in 6th in a handicap at Laytown 18 days ago, without the usual headgear, merely continuing on over the unsuitable 6f distance. The visor is making a return for a more fitting 7f, and the 8-year-old is expected to do well of a threatening mark. With 5 places on offer, an each-way bet at 18/1 offers great value.

I thought Paul Flynn's 3 year old Gelding WILLIAM F BROWNE ran well up until the last furlong @Galway (8f Soft) 13 days ago & it might be that this charge wants further but with the Booking of 7lb claimer Nicola I think it could be worth a shot here after all this Son of ARIZONA'S two best runs have come over this trip (Win @Naas Good & 2nd ½f @Galway Yielding). I was a little confused with the return to Galway again Last time out as to why this lad capitulated but the wide draw in #15 wouldnt have helped. Essentially 8lbs lower this time round I'm happy to back this charge again (perhaps for the last time) Tentative each way.

A competitive handicap where Arctic Steps looks a massive price at 33/1. Low numbers have a big advantage here, and he likes to lead and can make all from stall 5. A little break will have him fresh.
