8:30 Fairyhouse Tips

Contrary To Law looks the most interesting runner stepping into handicaps. He showed promise in maidens, shaped well on his seasonal return, and the move back up to 7f should suit. With a mark of 70 and further improvement likely, he gets the vote in a competitive field.

An interesting affair in the lucky last here @Fairyhouse but I'm resting my cap on Thomas Dowling's 4 year old Filly HUGO'S GIRL who takes a big drop in class & gets a step up in trip which looked to suit here 7 days ago.. The jockey booking of Billy lee certainly upgrades this filly.

Green Kite stands out through the combination of strong recent form, a top-class jockey in Colin Keane, and a trainer capable of placing horses effectively. In a wide-open handicap, Green Kite appears the most reliable option to secure a favorable position before the closing stages and has the best overall chance of converting that into victory.

Chester Nimitz was placed four times in his first five starts and got his first win at the ninth attempt in a maiden at Navan last October. He started this season on a handicap mark of 78 and, though unplaced in three starts, he is now down to what looks a very competitive mark of 70 with Nicola Burns taking off a further 5 lbs. He looks a good each-way bet with four places on offer.

This experienced runner has a fair shot at finishing in the top positions at 10/1 due to his advantageous handicap rating, being 10lb below his previous winning weight, and having recently delivered a strong 2nd place finish over the 7f trip.
