7:10 Killarney Tips

Musashi has only had four runs. The first three were not great, but he was gelded and returned from the break last month for his handicap debut with a step up in trip to 1m2½f. He was a good second and received a 2 lb rise. I would still expect more now, second up from this 3yo.

Femme Beauty is more exposed than her rivals in this one. Having said that she does seem to get better every time she is bumped up in trip. Based on her last effort this trip should be ideal.

This is the trainer's only entry he's got out today. This one will be fitter for the last run. They are putting first-time blinkers on, with the same jockey on board, as this is his only ride of the day. A good each-way bet for the four places available.

Mount Eden is a 3yo trained by Donnacha Aidan O'Brien remains unexposed with just three starts and opens on a mark of 66 and has only posted a career high RPR of 55 so the handicapper is taking no chances - he may do better today after a gelding operation and stepped up to 11f (related to a 12f winner Waver) for the first time on handicap debut - the first time cheekpieces could also aid the cause along with Paddy Harnetts 5lb claim a jockey riding with confidence right now picking up two winners recent at the Curragh - Paddy Harnett has ridden 8 horses for Donnacha Aidan O'Brien sporting first time cheekpieces on handicaps and won on Igraine 22-1 (won on handicap debut and stepped up 3f) and El Tesoro 100-30 - outside chance!

Handicap debut left with some encouragements, but will need to improve some. Better ground and dropping a further pound in the weights will hopefully help with getting into the four places on offer.
