7:50 Gowran Park Tips

Sioux Eagle has a wide draw to overcome, but don't let that put you off here. Now a pound lower, Sioux Eagle, with his form being very consistent and a great 4th place last time out here days ago, can easily stay this 1m 6f and is very consistent with placing at this trip. I do believe that now he is looking like a win is due.

See The Stars mare who won first time out last season and should be suited by this trip and the under foot conditions. Wayne Hassett takes off a very useful 5lb and she should be there or thereabouts at the death.

Billy Lee has the ride and could be biding his time. With him holding his mount, he could be a serious threat at the finish. This can see this greymare running a big race as she has shown ability when staying on at the Curragh in a 10k race in October 2024.

Improver at the back end of last year when winning 3 of her last 4 races, including when last seen in October. Has won after a break previously, so would have a chance here.

DISCO BOY should appreciate this distance and his recent handicap debut was promising. That effort showed him a capable sort from this mark and he can be expected to progress third-up from a break here. A lightly-raced six year old who looks to have sound claims.

Chris Hayes rode a winner on the Flat on last ride for Gordon Elliott (SR 15%). Miss Gitana looks a decent price at 7-1 or bigger. Four year-old filly by Nathaniel (good staying pedigree) who put together a solid string of decent results, winning twice at this trip on good-firm ground for Mark Prescott last year. Has been running in maiden hurdles for this yard and put in a better effort than 28-1 might have suggested in a decent handicap over 1m5f at Navan on only Flat outing for this yard so far. Was making up ground late and should be better for slightly longer trip and firmer going here. Chance.

Dancing Steve is yet to tackle a trip as long as this but was in decent nick in his last 4 runs on the AW. He is a turf winner, over 9f at Tipperary in September last year, and if he gets this trip, he has sound each-way claims against this moderate bunch.
