I think David Christie's 8 year old Gelding MARRONSTOWN would appreciate a return back to the tall timber after a lacklustre display over hurdles here in Northern Ireland (@Downpatrick) 22 days ago but not only does this charge not have a good hurdle record he has his best form when he can get a gallop going. The current 28/1 odds are fair enough this Son of FROZEN FIRE's recent form hasn't been good enough huwever the handicappers noose & deeper races wouldn't have helped. This lad now drops 2lbs below his last winning mark & a return here again to Northern Ireland this time at the Galloping Down Royal could spark a revival with tips lad having a 40% place strike rate here in County Down & is ground versatile. Jockey Jordan Gainford takes the reins and has a whopping 44% place strike rate the past month & 36% place strike rate here the past 5 years. 5 places on offer, I'll roll the dice.

I thought that John McConnell's 7 year old Gelding PINBALL WIZARD ran with enough merit last time out here 17 days ago despite having a tough wide draw & was detached for a the first part of the contest but I felt both he & his stable mate (Loaded Quiver) didn't disgrace them selves making up some ground with this Son of DARK ANGEL not far off at the 7f point. This lad gets another plum draw In stall #15 BUT does get a massive 12lbs pull thanks to the handicapper & 10lb Claimer Adam Grant. This charge is well handicapped on his previous form now a whopping 12lbs lighter than his last win. It's probably a no go but common sense has never been my strong point.

I'm chucking in a scarily big priced tentative shot here on Halloween for my last tip of the month but at odds of 40/1 I can't stop the monster in being intrigued in Adrian Sexton's 3 year old Filly RED VEIL who will certainly welcome a return back to the level after a spin over hurdles & 'Should' appreciate the step back in trip & if we dig a little we have a ok run over 7f here @Dundalk in a claimer keeping on 4 lengths off the winner a whole 14lbs heavier ran ok In a deeper 6f maiden @Listowel (another left tight sharp track) when badly hampered. Senior Jockey Scott McCullagh takes the reins & has a 25.33% place strike rate here the past 5 years. It's very tentative & probably has Horror story written all over it but I'll tentatively swing for the fences.

There will be the word 'Should' a few times in this tip but I think it's apt because 'Should' Peter McClusky's 4 year old Filly LISMACBRYAN take to this surface then he 'Should' be there or there abouts. This Daughter of KUROSHIO went off as favourite in her last two outings ultimately disappointing BUT last time outs juice filled turf @Bellewstown wouldn't have done this charge any favours & the run before that @Laytown looked a bit too far (6f) but if we go before that we have a 1¾ 2nd place finish @Naas 3lbs heavier than she arrives here today. This charge arrives here a whole 11lbs lighter for a win @the Curragh in much deeper company outrunning her huge 40/1 odds that day. There are a few alarm bells i won't lie - Colin Keane seemingly washing his hands of this charge & the possibility this Fully just doesn't like a sharp track but there is more to Like in my humble opinion plus the current 14/1 odds help sway me aswell. Risks attacked but 'Should' this charge get this Surface she looks potentially very well treated.

This Son of GOLD WELL finished 3rd @Limerick over this trip earlier this month on testing ground & whilst the going here is currently Good/Yielding I'd expect a little more juice with a few showers expected which would suit this old boy.

Let me be crystal clear before I plead my case for Helen Markham's 4 year old Gelding CHESTERBAYLAD if this was any less than 25/1 I wouldn't tip it even with stolen money..so on that positive note I'll continue. This Son of RIBCHESTER ran a career best @Down Royal back in May finishing 5th (of 19) 10 lengths off the winner of a mark of 93 & Ran a similar run last time out @Fairyhouse (Yielding) & could have gotten a little closer (in my opinion) had he not been hindered 2 from the finish. This charge sheds another 3lbs & gets another 5lb shaved off thanks to jockey Liam McKenna (who has a 40% win strike rate here the past year). The potential softening of the ground is intriguing as this lad didnt run too badly on the yielding @Fairyhouse & could potentially (if weather reports are to be beloved) find himself on softer ground which I'm intrigued to see how he fares. More weight shed with a drama free spin COULD see this lad get a bit closer at decent odds. Back with Caution.

I'm probably totally wrong & if so I'll take my medicine but I can't shake this feeling I have that Pat Murphy's 5 year old Mare EAGLES WHISTLE could suprise a few here?!? What am I basing this on? Because admittedly this Daughter of FREE EAGLE failed to impress in 3 handicap contests here @Dundalk but this were all over 1 mile, This charge wasn't awful in a maiden here over this trip (7f) & if you look at her form we have a career best over the sharp left handed Listowel (5th 2¾) over this trip off a mark of 40 but essentially arrives here 3lbs lighter thanks to Jockey Wayne Hassett's allowance. I'm not really thrilled with the draw in stall #12 but this charge ran well from a wide draw @Killarney (another sharp left track) finishing 5th 3½ off a mark of 42. I'm probably clutching but Its still relatively early days for this Mare & the return to 7f here has me intrigued. I'll play along.

The handicapper drops her 3lbs for that run aswell as Jockey Rory Mulligan's 7lbs pull which would really see her bang there (if it were only that easy). Drawn low I'm stall #3 certainly gives her a punchers chance. I've certainly seen (& backed) worse 16/1 shots.

You could Argue that the draw in stall #11 won't do this charge any favours but this lad finished 3rd (1 length) when running from this stall previously. I can't dress this up anymore this plucky grey is very well treated on hod back form here so hopefully the return here reignites the fuse & at 16/1 I'm happy to have a small EW Poke.

Any rain would absolutely be appreciated for this mudlark with all of his best form coming on testing ground & has a 50% overall place strike rate here @Galway.

Plenty in here with chances but I'm looking for big double figure odds, so with that being said I'm happy to throw a dart with Denise O'Shea's 10 year old Veteran Gelding BALDURS GATE who returns after a 253 day sabbatical but wasnt awful when last seen returning from a long break (299 days) 3 runs back @Cork (20f Yielding/Soft) keeping on & to be fair this Son of STOWAWAY will appreciate the step back up in trip. This charge will want the ground a bit softer than the current yielding so fingers crossed for some rain. The selection might not be the most prolific with 1 chase victory to his name BUT does have a very respectable 50% place strike rate. Trainer has only ran one charge the past two weeks grabbing a winner with today's jockey Simon Torrens who himself has a respectable 28.95% place strike rate the past month aswell as a 21.82% place strike rate here @Galway (5 years). A bit tentative (aren't they all at this price) but the drop in class & potential rain I'm hoping this lad can at least hit the frame with current odds too big for me to ignore.

Jockey Ricky Doyle remains in the plate & has 2 wins/2 places from 10 runs this past month & has a 45% place strike rate here the past year when riding for this yard.

Phillip Rothwell's 8 year old Gelding CATO'S REVENGE is being overlooked a little in my humble opinion with the top of the market dominated by last time out winners that could obviously have more scope but all carry extra weight but ultimately they are all too short a price for myself. This Son of NOTNOWCATO ran credibly enough this grade on penultimate @Navan (23f Heavy) coming off a big 272 day break & could have possibly gotten closer had he not jumped the last like a bag of hammers (finished 5th in the end). This lads run before that @Ballinrobe (23f Good) was deeper than this contest & was making some headway in the dying embers when hindered by a faller 2 out under today's jockey (Simon Torrens). This charge drops 1lb for those runs & looks like a break freshens him up. As an each way shot I don't think he could be totally discarded.

This Son of FAST COMPANY (should be appear) arrives here on his last winning mark of 40 when he won here @Dundalk in April over this trip. The return back to this charges preffered trip is a plus & should/could strip fitter for his pipe opener last time out (coming off a 116 day layoff). Jockey Rory Mulligan steps into the plate today & has a very respectable 40.91% place strike when riding for the yard the past year. Couldn't be ruled out entirely if he gets a run.

This Son of CASTLE DU BERLAIS granted doesn't have the best of form lines headed into this contest BUT we have a few Chase runs that Are best left unspoken about & a big chunk of runs in deeper company although some of those wernt bad (Naas & Navan were respectable enough) but ultimately I feel the handicapper has had his noose around his neck for way too long since winning @Wexford (94) & @Fairyhouse (101) in quick succession. This big drop in class 'should' help aswell as the overnight rain here @Sligo which this charge wouldn't have a problem with. Jockey Niall Moore knows how to get a tune from this lad & sheds 5lbs.

This yard were in the winners enclosure yesterday which is certainly a plus as is the booking of Top pro Gary Carroll who returns to the pilot seat & has navigated all of this Fillys best form. 14/1 currently with 6 places looks good potential each way value for this proven Mudlark.

Plenty of big yards and big guns in this race, which is to be expected. Whilst Gordon Elliott's BOSTON ROVER is the yard's big hope here, it's his lightest charge in the race - his 8-year-old gelding WILL DO that has me interested. This son of WALK IN THE PARK probably won't be scribbled down on too many bet slips tomorrow. After all, he's still yet to shed his maiden tag over fences, BUT he has hit the frame 5/8 times (62.50% place strike rate) with 2 of those in BIG races: a 2nd 2½ lengths off the winner at Punchestown (27f Soft) in February, then 3rd at Cheltenham (30f Good to soft) behind HAITI COULEURS and now drops 1lb for that. Jockey Danny Gilligan is a very capable pilot and has a 31.25% place strike rate here the past 5 years. There is lots to like here. We've got big race experience, low in the weights, ground versatile (with overnight rain expected), proven stamina, runs well fresh, drops weight, and of course, the all-important 18/1 current odds certainly help. This yard knows how to win this contest. I'll take a chance each way.

Jockey Darragh Allen interestingly has a 47.37% place strike rate here at Limerick over the past 5 years. Look, there are risks attached. This charge's runs for his new yard haven't been good enough, but two of those were on fast ground, and the one run he did get on softer ground was a bump up in class (at Killarney).

This is a little tentative, but I'm looking for a 'price' and at 20/1 currently. I saw enough from local trainer Eric McNamara's 5-year-old mare, The Sugarhill Lady, 22 days ago at Listowel (22f Good/Yielding) to pique my interest. That was this daughter of Kingston Hill's second run in handicap company and wasn't awful (coming off a 178-day break) with this charge keeping tabs with the pace setters only to fade 2 from home. So the drop back in trip 'could' be welcomed. I do like the look of jockey booking Michael Kenneally, who sheds 7 lbs, with this rider currently in fine fettle with 4 (of his 9) career wins coming this past fortnight. You can never dismiss this trainer's runners here at Limerick. His 34.88% place strike rate the past year tells us this. So why 20/1? It's still early days and could possibly need to drop more in the handicap?! The potential rain is a slight concern also, but at the current price and 5 places, I'll take a small punt on this relatively unexposed type.

This Charge now gets the services of a very talented claimer in the shape of Nicola Burns who's 7lb claim on top of the 4lbs shaved off by the handicapper drops this lad 11lbs in total with jockey also boasting a 29.70% place strike rate here the past 5 years. There are plenty in with chances but at this price & that weight pull I've got to take a chance. It will more than likely blow up in my face but hey we live by the sword we die by it. Good luck.

Considering that Paul Flynn's 3 year old Gelding JORDAN BREEZE has yet to race on this surface I think there is a lot to like especially at current 16/1 odds. This Son of STARSPANGLEDBANNER's penultimate run @Cork (5f Good) was a decent 4th 2½ lengths off the winner (off a mark of 53) was decent enough, the follow up has an excuse attached to it with the jockey dropping her whip 1f from the finish. This Charge now arrives here off a mark of 48 with Jockey Robyn Donaghue-Leahy shedding 7lbs with jockeys respectable stats here @Dundalk (29.55% place strike rate here the past 5 years) & her decent 35.29% place strike rate when riding for this yard the past year. Trainer has a 41.18% place strike rate here the past year. There is obviously the elephant in the room to address in the fact that this lad has not raced here previously but that penultimate run has me intrigued. Worth a shot I'd say.

Mark Cahill's 11 year old Veteran Gelding JAKE PETER looks very well treated now with his mark finally dropping past his last winning mark & started showing signs that he may be ready to trouble the judge in a deeper race @Listowel 19 days ago he wasn't that far off the prize money. This Son of INTIKHAB won this contest off a mark of 100 last year then followed up with another victory @Cork off a mark of 106 (now 104). A big plus is the return of Jockey Phillip Enright who has been onboard for ALL of this old boys best form & has a 50% place strike rate with him & also has a 37.50% place strike rate whilst running for this yard. Look I'm not going to shout from the roof tops that this is a nailed on winner but there is lots to like - he crept closer to, Jockey knows this charge, Ground is fine & Now 2lbs lighter than last win & 20/1 looks very fair for 5 places.

I'll be totally honest I feel a bit boxed in here & it's certainly not going to go down as my most sexy or illustrious tip but there isn't many in here that will get this going & it's certainly alot thinner on the ground for charges who have course experience in this conditions. Thomas Coyle's 8 year old Gelding MANHATTAN DANDY is one of a few that at least ticks those boxes with a decent 2nd place here on testing conditions on penultimate, he's now essentially 4lbs lighter thanks to Nicola Burns 7lb Claim. Can this lad hit the frame ? I think so? Will the wide draw scupper him? He ran wise last time out here so as long as he can get a lead he has a hope. I'll have a poke in my only tip today.

What a tough race to tackle here, but one that interests me at a price is Trainer Debbie Hartnett's 5-year-old mare, Coillte M C G, who outran her gargantuan 150/1 odds here at Cork (17f Good) on her penultimate, plugging away nicely to stay on in 4th. This daughter of Yeats was then upped in trip 21 days ago at Listowel (21f Yielding/Soft) and was in touch with the leading principles 2 out but faded, so the drop back again makes sense. This local 'mainly' point-to-point yard doesn't bring many to the track, but you'd like to think they could have a little sniff at some prize money here. The booking of in-demand 7lb claimer Michael Kenneally looks positive, with this young lad landing 5 victories this past month (29.41% place strike rate) and has a very under-the-radar strike rate here at Cork, clocking in a 50.74% place strike rate the past year. If I'm going to nitpick, I'd rather not be this high in the weights for a handicap debut (who does, after all), but with the drop back in trip, better ground, and a good claimer helping to dissipate the weight I'll take a chance.

22/1 is way too big a price, in my humble opinion, here for Michael O'Callaghan's 9-year-old gelding FACETHEPUCKOUT, whose record here alone at Naas should be enough for you to take notice. This son of EXCELEBRATION won this event 2 years back off today's mark and under today's rider Leigh Roche. This charge has an overall 75% place strike rate here (from 8 runs). I was on this lad a few runs back when Colin Keane got him close home at the death (at Punchestown), and I'll be honest, I've got no solid excuses for the poor run at Cork 11 days ago. But digging a bit deeper, this lad has yet to win on a sharp track. It's quite clear he likes a good gallop. Ground versatile. Trainer has a decent record here with a 5-year 33.33% place strike rate. Loves it here, and on last winning mark, I'm more than happy enough to back this each way.

Denis Hogan's bottom weighted charge his 5 year Gelding DONTSPOILASALE looks interesting here & whilst you can argue that this son of KUROSHIO is more at home on the All Weather surface he's no slouch on the turf either & wasn't too far away from Winner (and stable mate) NEZEEH 10 days ago @Bellewstown with his stable mate being upped 4lbs & this selection dropped 2lbs for that run. This charges only win came here @Naas over this trip 2lbs higher. Jockey Chris Hayes in the saddle is a positive & had you backed this jockey blindly e/w here the last 5 years you would find yourself in profit. The ground isn't as testing as last time out here to day which is another plus. Lots to like here well enough at least for me to have an each way poke.

The more I look, the more I warm up to John McConnell's 9-year-old French gelding GRAND SOIR, who makes his handicap chase debut here today off a mark of 120, which in my humble opinion, I think is very workable. This son of COKORIKO won by 8 lengths over hurdles in maiden company at Kilbeggan (25f Good), then followed up with a 3-length win at Cork (24f Good/Yielding), then another 2-length victory at Thurles (23f Yielding), all in 2022. On a 318-day return, he ran an okay 3rd on chase debut, and to be fair, wasn't awful when returning on New Year's Eve 24 after another 300+ days away from the track. This lad was two lengths down before falling 3 out. Jockey Alex Harvey has won twice and placed twice this past fortnight. This charge doesn't seem to mind coming off a break, and should he be able to capture some of that early hurdle form, I don't think you could totally dismiss him so easily. Interesting runner.

Should Ado McGuiness's 4 year old British Filly HEART OF DARKNESS make an appearance in this contest (currently 1st Reserve) I'm very keen to see how this charge runs here @Dundalk. This Daughter of MEHMAS's form on the turf doesn't make for pleasant reading albeit she has been in some deeper races but this charges All weather form looks a lot healthier in comparison with a win over 6f (maiden) & when last saw here (over this trip) we had a 3rd place finish 2 lengths off Winner HIGHTIMEYOUWON (now rated 86) who went on to win 3 times aswell as hit the frame in some big handicaps, 2nd place VOLATILE ANALYST also went on to win next time out & 4th place EXQUISITE ACCLAIM (rated 89) went on to win next time round also. This Filly arrives here off a mark of 62 which is a whopping 19lbs lighter since that run here at the start of the year so I can certainly see why the trainer is trying her here & certainly knows how to get one performing on this surface with a 32.49% place strike rate.

Quite a few look in with a shout here, but I'm going to side with the less exposed in the shape of Colin Bowe's 5-year-old mare, MORELL RIVER. Considering she was coming off a big 314-day absence for her handicap debut 21 days ago here in Northern Ireland, I thought she looked okay finishing 4th, keeping on. This daughter of HARZAND would have certainly been entitled to that run, and on that evidence, should appreciate the step up in trip returning here. The trainer has a 40% place strike rate this past month, as well as a 50% place strike rate with his second-time-out handicappers. The jockey has a 20.69% place strike rate the past month and a 50% place strike rate when riding for this yard (albeit from a small sample). Double-figure odds keep me interested here, and I saw enough last time out to have a little poke here.

What an extremely competitive affair for the level loads in with chances here but I'm going to stick my neck out with Thomas Coyle's 7 year old Gelding RUN FORREST RUN who has been plugging away recently not disgracing himself in deeper races whilst having his mark drop gradually down. This son of BOBBYS KITTEN saw his mark drop past his last winning mark 16 days ago @Fairyhouse (6f Yielding) finishing 3 lengths off the winner & sees another 1lb shed here arriving off a mark of 55. This is not an easy course to run it's stiff uphill finish doesn't suffer fools gladly & whilst there are selections here with better course form this lad has a more than respectable record finishing 5th & 3rd here (off marks of 61). Jockey James Ryan remains in the plate & has a 25% place strike rate here @Navan the past 5 years & 20% place strike rate when riding for this yard the past year. I think this charge is being slightly overlooked & at current 14/1 odds I'm happy to have a small poke.

I've scratched my head to long on this card & keep coming back to Michael Flannery's 6 year old Mare BOWGATE STREET, Now this Daughter of CHAMPS ELYSEES doesn't arrive here in the best form granted but now on a mark of 85, 4lbs lower than her last run you could argue shes ready to trouble the judge.This charge was runner up in this contest last year 1lb lighter under today's jockey Darragh O' Keefe so that's certainly a positive. Trainer has a 40% place strike rate here the past 5 years. Jockey has a 41.49% has a place strike rate the past 14 days. It's certainly not nailed on here but this charges best performance's have come around right bends & whilst you can argue that's what he got at the Listowel Festival his past two attempts running left handed haven't been great. It's a bit tentative & this mare wouldn't want it too soft (current Yielding is fine) but we're still getting double figure odds for last year's runner up here.

At first glance Timothy Doyle's 8 year old Gelding WRIST ART wouldnt exactly jump off the pages of your Racing post newspaper & his current 25/1 reflect that. This Son of SIR PRANCEALOT is normally not too far Away but hasn't shown any of that this term but this lad now drops below his last winning mark. I rate todays Jockey (Sam Coen) & will be a welcome addition back in the saddle here & finished 2nd on top of this lad when last teaming up @Gowran Park (7lbs heavier off a mark of 61), this jockey sheds a very useful 7lbs & has an impressive 57.14% place strike rate here @Killarney & a very respectable 66.67% when running for this yard the past year. The bog like conditions won't bother this lad with the majority of his best form coming with juice in the turf. Look there is plenty of holes here but the jockey booking gives us a massive pull in the weights. It's a risk I'm happy to take.

At current Odds of 40/1 I'm happy to stick my neck out for Val O'Brien's 12 year old Veteran British Gelding AVEC ESPOIR who yes isn't getting any younger & yes recent performances have not been good enough BUT the return back to this longer trip (and slower pace) will suit these aging legs. This Son of FLYING LEGEND loves a left sharp handed track with ALL of his best form coming when doing so. This trip seems to be this charges preferred distance also with 5/8 of his places coming when running this far. The current yielding ground shouldn't bother this versatile old boy either. So why 40/1? Well yes you could say the last 3 runs weren't good enough (but they were too short) but the potential fly in the ointment for me is the mark of 99 which Is 2lbs higher than his last win. We have a top pilot in the cockpit in Danny Gilligan who arrives in good form & knows his way around these tight bends here @Killarney. Risks attached but if this veteran front runner is given too much rope he could be hard to rein in.

Would This Son of BUCKS BOUM gotten closer had he not fallen 2 from the lollypop when racing in 3rd @Listowel Last month? who knows but I certainly think he would have landed some prize money. This charge now goes again this time 3lbs lighter thanks to Gary Noonan's claim with this jockey & trainer arriving here @Killarney in blistering form off the back of an amazing Listowel festival. Trainer has a 40% Place strike rate here, Jockey has a 47.37% place strike rate here. My slight concern was the Current Yielding- Yielding/Soft going here to then realise that 1] Won a maiden on soft @Listowel 16f & 2] Regardless of that his sire being French also didn't mind the cut in the ground.

This Filly's All weather experience could be the key to unlocking her potential. This Charge has a win on this surface winning by 2 lengths @Wolverhampton (6f) on her all weather debut then followed up with a 2nd place at the same venue & it's a then its a similar story she was then having to swim with sharks @Lingfield & @Chelmsford.

A big factor here for me is this lads two 2nd place finishes here @Gowran Park in Bumper & Maiden contests with one of those on heavy ground (the other was Yielding) & course experience is vital here (in my humble opinion). Jockey Anna McGuiness sheds a very useful 7lbs off & has hit a bit of a purple patch with 1 win/2 places the past fortnight. The rain & course form has to give this charge a squeak at least.

Getting up this hill here isn't for the faint-hearted, let alone having to do it running through the muck, which is what these will likely have to do with the overnight rain set to seep into the turf. The going alone is enough to discard many, as well as finding a charge who won't mind the stamina-sapping uphill finish. John Ryan's 8-year-old gelding SMALLCRAFTWARNING won here at Clonmel in June, then followed up at Killarney on soft ground. Bearing the brunt of top weight is never fun, but jockey Harry Sexton's 7lb claim keeps this lad honest.
