The overnight money has come for Kevin Coleman's bottom weighted 3 year old Gelding OPPENHEIMER who was 33s last night now as little as 10s with some bookmakers. This Son of STARMAN didn't run awfully here last month despite a 213 day sabbatical away from the track on Handicap Debut & was still plugging away through the soft ground from an unfavorable middle draw & his pedigree suggests quicker ground 'Should' suit. This charge has been gelded since, gets a wide draw (Stall #20) and a very eye catching Jockey booking in the shape of Chris Hayes who has a very respectable 47.62% place strike rate the past fortnight. Trainers 33.33% place strike rate with his 2nd time out Handicappers is also worth nothing. This fairly unexposed lad could be a very dark horse here running off a feather weight.

I jotted this down last night but was way too tired to trawl through this Handicap but I'm still stuck on this one so I'll take the hit with the lower odds on offer now. Liz Doyle's 4 year old German Filly POWERFUL ROSIE looks an interesting prospect here especially now getting quicker ground, By PROTECTIONIST this Fully Should have the preference in her Veins for this faster surface & trip & certainly didn't embarrass herself on unfavorable conditions @Clonmel (16f Soft) 32 days ago. This charge is dropped 1lb for her 2nd handicap contest. Jockey Ritchie Deegan remains in the plate & has a 50% place strike rate here in County Antrim the past year. Lots to like for this relatively unexposed German Filly.

Whilst I'd obviously appreciate a bigger priced runner I can't move off the Harty's (Eddie & Patrick) 8 year old Gelding GEGENPRESSING who absolutely loves it here @Sligo where he remains unbeaten over this trip off marks of 47-53-65, This Son of THE GURKHA returned from a 159 break 34 days ago @Navan (6f Heavy) & 'Should' strip fitter for this assignment. Not quite sure why 3x Winning jock Chris Hayes isn't in the saddle but we have the very talented Declan McDonagh in the pilot seat who arrives here in fine fettle. I'm not fussed by the draw, This lad has won from low & high stalls (#4 today). Very well treated & hopefully match fit.

Whilst it's an easy enough feat to perplex me but I'm struggling to see why Stephen Thorne's 6 year old Gelding GLENEAGLE BAY is currently trading at double figure odds. This Son of GLENEAGLES was pretty pitiful when last seen @the Curragh 30 days ago however This was coming off a 174 day break so 'Should' strip fitter here with this contest representing a big drop in class & with some fantastic back form last year including 5th in the Irish Lincolnshire followed by a 3rd in the Victoria Cup @Ascot & 2nd in the Ahonoora then a 4th place finish in a premier handicap @Leopardstown then I don't think you could entirely write off this Ground versatile lad with Jockey Jack Kearney shedding 3lbs bringing this charge down to 91. Worth a shot in my opinion.

This festival doesn't get any easier which is very similar to what cab be said about trying to Judge Thomas Gibney's 8 year old Gelding KINTURK KALANISI. This Son of KALANISI has produced some big moments in deeper races than this but ultimately has still yet to shed his Handicap Maiden tag & you could make the case that this charge is a better Hurdler & you wouldn't have many argue that point with his 83.33% place strike rate in that sphere BUT I do feel we have a few valid excuses with regards to this lads last 3 over the tall timber; first was a very good 3rd (of 28) in the Paddy Power over Xmas returning from a 250 day sabbatical then was reported to have had Blood in both Nostrils next time out & then we had Soft/Heavy Ground @Navan last time out. Now dropped in class & weight (3lbs) with quicker ground & 1st time headgear (Cheekpieces) applied could see this lad finally make the break through.

I'm not quite sure why Mouse Morris's 10 year old French Gelding INDIANA JONES is currently trading at 40/1 especially when you take into account a very much improved run @Aintree in the Topham earlier this month over a trip that historically he hasn't taken to but he was bang there at the business end of the race before fading to finish 5th which was a big achievement & even more impressive was this Son of BLUE BRESIL was running from out of the handicap. This French lad takes a big drop in class here today aswell as being dropped 4lbs with 5lb Claimer Shane O'Callaghan still in the cockpit. There are holes of course (you don't get a perfect 40/1 shot obviously) his form line hasn't been good enough BUT you can argue that this charge hasn't been running over his preferable trip for a while now (I suppose when you win by 10 lengths over 2 miles then trainers presume you can run further). Ground looks fine aswell. Lots to like here with a price that allows room for the freyed edges. Good luck.

How often do you get a runner from this yard trading at 28/1? Don't answer that it was a rhetorical question! Not very often but that's exactly what we're getting here with Gordon Elliott's 7 year old Gelding MINELLA SIXO who I backed @Cheltenham in the pertemps & in fairness I thought this Son of SHANTOU did ok & certainly ran better than his 11th (of 24) keeping on whilst getting stuck a little behind traffic. This represents a drop a class & arrives here 5lbs lighter but the big eyecatcher is the be the booking of Retained Jockey Jack Kennedy which is always a plus as is his 66.67% win Strike rate when riding this selection. Trip 'shouldnt' be a problem with two decent runs in Novice Grade 2/3 on quicker ground. Lots to like here.

This Daughter of FINANCIAL REWARD arrives here 2lbs lower (117) & gets another 4lb pull thanks to Jockey Dylan Kidd.

Trainer Has bigged up this unknown quantity and doesn't seem to phased about his opening Irish Mark. In form jockey Joey Sheridan (25.93% win strike rate - 14 days) looks a solid booking.

i tend to hide odds and media comments when looking at the form so i was quite suprised when i had narrowed down my selctions that Robbie Burns 7 Year Old Gelding DEUTERONOMY is currently trading at 22/1 odds (at time of writing). This Son of ACCLAMATION Hasnt looked at the races in his 2 runs this term however one was off a 160 day sabbatical and the other was too far (10f), This mile trip is much better suited and was finishing very strong @Gowran Park in September (8f good/yielding) and had he not fluffed her lines that day i think he would have won, that was on a mark of 63 (now 58). It would proberbly be fair to say this lad wouldnt want too much juice in the ground (although he has a soft win on his cv). Nicola Burns remains in the saddle for her father, sheds 5lbs & has a 60% place strike rate here @Limerick the past 5 years. Lots to like her now that the Blinkers are back on back down in trip on quicker ground.

Along with course experience it pays to be up with the pace here in County Meath. Another interesting nugget is Top weighted POWERACCLAIM (9/1) who finished 2 places (2¼) ahead of our selection when meeting here In October is giving our lad 10lbs. Jockey Josh Harnett sheds a very useful 7lbs. If this Son of INNS OF COURT hits the ground running his previous course experience could see him hard to peg back.

This charge loves a tight track & knows how to win here @Kilbeggan will much prefer this faster ground. There could be questions raised about this trip which is valid as he's had 4 attempts which have yielded nothing but did win here over 18f by 5 lengths off a mark of 89. Top jockey JJ Slevin takes the reins. A chance can be taken.

I'm happy to put a line through this Son of HARRY ANGEL's last run which was on the softer ground @leopardstown although that still wasn't an awful run just 4 lengths off the winner. Down in class now & returning back to the All Weather 3lbs lighter gives this charge a punchers chance at least.

Despite a 119-day sabbatical off the track and on only her second run on the all-weather, she finished 2nd by 1¾ (over 6f), keeping on. That is even more impressive when you consider she was slowly out of the stalls and, considering she was also running from a wide draw (#11), it just gives this charge another plus. This daughter of Sioux Nation ran well here at Gowran Park when last seen in October, finishing 1¼. I'm 3rd off a mark of 58 and had Survivors Code behind in 5th. Jockey Sadhbh Tormey remains in the plate and sheds 7 lbs. Lots to like here at a decent enough price.

Being a Son of LOPE DE VEGA is certainly a plus dropping down in trip which looks the right call, with this lad certainly not out of it at the 7f marker 11 days ago @Gowran Park & since this was coming off a 140 day break he 'Should/Could' Strip fitter here. This lad has a few standouts In Maiden Company - he was only a head off Ger Lyons DIEGO EL QUESO who has finished 2nd & 1st recently in some big handicaps here & now rated 88 this was followed up with a 3rd @Roscommon (8f Soft).

At Current double-figure odds, I think there can be a case to be made for Philip Rothwell's seven-year-old gelding, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. This Son of SANS FRONTIERES should appreciate the step back in trip to 21f & will certainly appreciate the 2lb drop. This charge was throwing down a challenge 3 out @Limerick(23f Heavy) 36 days ago before tiring the testing ground shouldn't be an issue for this mudlark with all his best form coming on juice filled turf. A few interesting nuggets of info to take solace from here is Jockey Simon Torrens 30% win strike rate here @Ballinrobe the past year & similarly the 29.41% Win strike rate with Trainer & Jockey here the past 5 years. Running off bottom weight here I don't think you could totally write off this charge.

Trainer has a 33% place strike rate here the past 5 years with Jockey Kieran Buckley scoring 36.36% place strike rate aswell.

This Son of ROCK OF GIBRALTAR was surprisingly back into favourite & had that run have been 7f I think the gamble would have landed with this charge being bang there at the 7f marker before fading in the dying embers (final furlong). The quicker going this time 'should' suit better. Jockey Reece Holohan remains in the saddle & sheds a very useful 7lbs & has a 66.67% place strike with riding for this yard the past year.

As a trainer I think Ian Donoghue goes ridiculously under the radar & has a knack of resurrecting nags that have completely dropped off which is impressive enough but he tends to have these firing at the first time of asking here are just a few recent charges results prior to the trainer change & After; HITTHEHAYSON Prior: P509P After: 1141, DUNBOYNE Prior: PPPP After: 1145, MIDDLETON RARE Prior: 000P After: 10391 I'm not sure what he's feeding his charges but I think I want some of it.

Quite a trappy affair here @Clonmel and one I'm going to side with is Cian Collins bottom weighted 6 year old Gelding WAKEY WAKEY MAN who has shown some substance in his past outings & it does look like he 'should' benefit from a longer trip. This Son of IDAHO was plugging away when last seen @Ludlow (21f Good/Soft) in February 10lbs heavier & returns here to the Emerald Isle with a couple of decent performances more notably here in December on debut for yard where he made rapid headway in the dying embers off. Experienced Rider (who was in the saddle for that aforementioned run) Jordan Gainford retakes the reins & has a 34.78% place strike rate here the past year. This Yard landed a big 50/1 gamble @Fairyhouse Festival over Easter & if we get a quickly run race I wouldn't be surprised to see this charge benefiting from off the pace late on.

That was on soft ground, and he should appreciate the better ground here. He arrives here 22 lbs lower than his chase mark of 106 and won over this trip at the similar undulating Clonmel by five lengths in October on quicker ground. Jockey Daniel King takes the reins for the trainer, which is a positive with their 66.67% win strike rate in the past year.

Fozzy Stack's 4 year old Filly BELIEVETH has me very intrigued here on her handicap debut for a yard that certainly knows how to land a gamble. This Daughter of ACCLAMATION has the pedigree in her veins for this 1 mile trip & didn't embarrass herself with her only run on the turf finishing 8th (of 19) keeping on @The Curragh (6f) In a race full of next time out winners who have gone on to compete in much deeper contests. Traimer has a very impressive 40.91% place strike rate with his Handicap Debutants & has a 71.43% place strike rate the past 14 days. Experienced Pilot Seamie Heffernan has a 40% place strike rate the past fortnight. The odds are bang on at 18/1 but returning back to the level, up in trip for a very Shrewd trainer this looks a very realistic plot.

Big odds on offer here for Katy Brown's 11 year old Veteran Gelding ART OF UNITY and I'm not quite sure why?! This Son of MAZAMEER is certainly stuck in his ways & by that I mean he wants conditions just right, What's the Old saying "You can't treat an Old Dog/Horse new tricks" which is fine we want a 5f Sprinter, who loves give in the ground, loves the tight sharp turns here in County Meath & acts well fresh - Audition Passed!. This Wiley Veteren returned from a 111 day sabbatical when last seen here winning from a wide Draw (better drawn today) but then subsequently disqualified. Jockey Luke McAteer is booked & arrives here in decent form. Trainer has a 33.33% Win strike rate with her new Arrivals. Lots to like here for this old boy who knows his job arriving here on the same mark when last seen here. It would be foolish to totally Dismiss his chances.

I'm a bit late to the races today so a little annoyed at myself for missing the 40's that were on offer for Thomas Coyle's 7 year old Gelding SELECTIVE POWER. This Son of TAMAYUZ is flying under the radar a little (in my humble opinion) & 'should' appreciate a return back on the level here today after a spin on the All Weather. This charge is still 5lbs above his last winning mark on 64 here BUT won going away by 7½ lengths @Roscommon (7f Soft - OR 59) In September & was only 3 lengths off PERRY MASON in deeper company @the Curragh (8f Heavy) off a mark of 70. This lad arrives here on a mark of 64 & drops in class with Soft ground being no problem at all. Jockey James Ryan has a 28.57% Win strike rate with this Charge. Potentially fitter with juice in the ground at a sharp track, A chance can be taken.

I'm a little perplexed as to why Gordon Elliott's 11-year-old French gelding Favori de Champdou is currently trading at 40/1. This son of Saddler Maker has been a revelation since Christmas when winning the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown by 4½ lengths, outrunning his huge 66/1 odds. This French old boy didn't rest on his laurels and then hacked up by 8 lengths in the Cross Country at Cheltenham. This lad was wound up before flag fall at Cheltenham, yet despite this still ran a very strong race in defeat, finishing 2nd, 18 lengths in front of 3rd place. Ground versatile, so he won't mind the forecast rain. The trainer knows how to win this. This charge is clearly in good spirits, and at these odds I'm happy enough to nail my (French) colours to the mast.

I think a case can be made here for Mark Fahey's 6 year old Mare FERRARI DESERT. This Daughter of ACCLAMATION can be forgiven (in my humble opinion) for the two glaring 00 on her form line but this Mare was returning from a gargantuan 315 day sabbatical when last seen here @Dundalk & then sent over the juice filled turf @the Curragh SO 'Should' strip fitter for that here. There are positives to pull from her antepenultimate run here when finishing ½ length off the winner when headed on the line (8f) off a mark of 63 in a deeper contest & now arrives here off 59 with another 7lbs being shed by Claimer Joseph Hartnett. 7f is much more up this Mare's Street. Fitness now assumed I think this charge is a real threat.

I'm happy to side with a Dundalk Stalwart here in the shape of David Marnane's 10 year old Gelding JERED MADDOX who has a whopping 8 wins here on his CV. This Son of LAWMAN didn't look dead & buried here 21 days ago making headway 2 from the lollypop with jockey also reporting that charge was a little hampered in the final furlong. Jockey Luke McAteer is always a welcome addition in the cockpit & certainly knows how to get a spin out of this old boy with a very impressive 33.33% win strike rate. This charge steps up in trip, drops in class & weight (1lb) & should never be discounted here @Dundalk.

I was happy enough to take 12/1 on this last night & the slight drift to 16/1 still hasn't got me moving off Patrick McKenna's 8 year old Gelding ROCK ETOLIE who on the surface wouldn't appear to jump off the pages of today's Racing Post & for good reason a form reading of 40-000 is hardly inspiring stuff BUT these recent runs were all on the All weather so reverting back to the turf doesn't look illogical & it seems even less when returning back here @Gowran Park, a course that has served this Son of FASTNET ROCK very well in the past which his 66.67% place strike rate suggests. This charge is pretty ground versatile & looks extremely well treated here winning off marks of 56-58 here In County Kilkenny (arrives here on 48). Experienced Hands take the reins in the shape of Seamie Heffernan. A chance to be taken.

I've been looking at this race for longer than I should have (according to the wife) but rightly or wrongly I can't move off Aengus King's 6 year old Mare LA TULIPE NOIR especially at current 20/1 odds. This Daughter of BERKSHIRE can be forgiven for finishing down the field @the Curragh last time out when coming off a 112 day break but if we go go back to her two previous runs on the level we have (in my humble opinion) a bit of substance to work with. This Mare was only only 1 length of KEY WITNESS keeping on @the Curragh(7f Heavy) & in fairness didn't get much luck in running & prior to that we have a 3rd @Galway (8f Soft/Heavy) finishing 3 lengths behind Irish Lincolnshire winner RIBEE both of those runs coming off a mark of 64. Jockey Jessica O'Gorman takes the reins today & sheds a very useful 7lbs off this charges back & knows how to get a tune out of this Mare. This Lass 'should' strip fitter for her pipe opener today for her pipe opener & has the ability to upset the apple cart here today.

You may look at Conor Maxwell's 3 year old Filly SURVIVOR'S CODE and say "No bloody chance!" & You'd not be wrong in thinking that 16 lengths behind the winner 9 days ago @Navan (10f Heavy) does not scream "Back me" BUT if you watch this contest back this Daughter of NANDO PARRADO was bang there at the 8f marker looking strong which is certainly a plus & when considering this was coming off a 154 day sabbatical this Nag becomes alot more interesting (at least to me anyways) - 20/1 odds are also very welcome. This charge drops 1lb & drops back in trip is drawn well In stall #3. I could be barking totally up the wrong tree (more than likely) but in a contest where a lot of these runner's are returning off big breaks I'm happy enough to side with this Filly who 'Could' give a bitter account of herself now fitter.

I'm sticking with my tracker for my Final tip of the day with Gordon Elliott's 7 year old French Gelding PRENDS GARDE A TOI who I was very bullish on heading into Cheltenham in which he just seemed like a completely different horse. The softer ground 'Should' help aswell as the booking of Yards #1 jockey Jack Kennedy. This challenge represents a big drop down in class & you'd think there would be serious questions asked if this French lad failed to put in a competitive performance here today. Were still getting double figure odds (12/1 currently) & I'm happy to put my faith in him one last time. Good luck.

I've been starting at this for the past few hours now & I have to agree with some of my fellow tipsters here (be sure to head over to the discord) that this is pure chuck a dart & see terrority but im headed down towards the bottom of the handicap with Willie Mullins 8 year old French Gelding SA MAJESTE who looked to take a step in the right direction @Naas (25f Soft/Heavy) 29 days ago keeping on. This Son of TOP TRIP has a win here @Fairyhouse on his CV & wasn't running too bad in this race last year before a sloppy jump derailed him & just couldn't recover eventually pulling up. This French Charge arrives here 8lbs lighter when taking into account Jockey Aiden Kelly's 3lb Claim & arrives here with a 36.36% place strike rate the past month. Soft ground wouldn't bother this lad. You'd expect one of the big yards to land this race & as we've seen the past few days it can very easily be one of their well weighted 'Second String' runners that can (& have) upset the applecart. I'll throw my dart & see.

I'm not sure Barry Connell's French 9 year old Gelding HGRANCA DE THAIX looks a little overpriced here but in my humble opinion & some could make the argument that this Son of SADDLER MAKER is a better Chaser but you don't finish a length behind a horse like ZANOOSH if you're not talented which is exactly what this charge did on his penultimate @Navan in January finishing 2nd when keeping on over 20f. This French lad won a Novice listed handicap @Punchestown not too far back 5lbs higher keeping on when winning by 4 lengths. We can make the case that the drop back in trip last time look a little too sharp so this looks a good shout. There are a few holes that we could pick but at 18/1 this looks good enough value for a charge that is more than capable enough to bounce back. A chance can be taken.

Willie Mullins 5 year old French Mare SAINTE LUCIE has been in some very deep races prior to a much more positive run in the Martin Pipe @Cheltenham last month where this Daughter of GREAT PRETENDER can consider herself a little unfortunate as she just couldn't find a way through on numerous occasions as she raced towards the finish to eventually finishing 5¼ off the winner. This French Charge takes a drop in class as well as shedding 3lbs. Jockey Charlie O'Dwyer remains in the plate & sheds a very useful 5lbs. Should we have less drama here then you surely couldn't write this charge off.

I simply can't let Cian Collins 7 year old Mare KATIE DANIELS pass me by at current 50/1 odds. This Daughter of WALK IN THE PARK won here @Fairyhouse (20f Heavy) in November beating the now 130 rated Zanoosh who's gone on to win 4 on the bounce. Yes this charge has failed to flatter in her past two runs over Fences & Hurdles @Punchestown over 23f BUT weakened around 2/3f on both those occasions so take drop back in trip certainly looks a big plus here. Jockey Ben Harvey who was in the cockpit for that maiden win is reinstated & arrives here in Fine fettle. Down 3lbs Back down in trip with new headgear added (tongue tie) I'm happy to take a chance at this price.

I like both the Noel Meade Runners in this Tricky contest but it's his 5 year old Gelding MESSERSCHMITT that gets the nod from me here l. This Son of KESSAAR outran his mammoth 50/1 odds in the Imperial Cup @Sandown (16f Soft) 28 days ago finishing 4th 4½ lengths & to be fair could have gotten a bit closer had he jumped the last a bit cleaner. This Charge arrives here on the same mark of 127 BUT gets the services of very talented claimer Micheal Kenneally who sheds a very useful 5lbs, jockey also has a 33% Win 50% place strike rate here @Fairyhouse the past year. Lots to like at double figure odds here (12/1).

I've circled the drain long enough with this race so there is no doubt I've potentially passed over the winner but either ways I'm putting my faith in Peter Buchanan's 7 year old Mare SOLDIERSTOWN who looks a threat right at the bottom of the weights. This Daughter of SOLDIER OF FORTUNE won a P2P @Farmacaffley (Soft/Heavy) by 3 lengths then followed up with a win @Fairyhouse. This charge can be forgiven for finishing 4th & 5th Behind ZANOOSH but now entering Handicap Company with 5lb Claimer Micheal Kenneally taking the reins I wouldn't be surprised to see a big improvement. This is one id those 'She Wins or is left in the carpark scenarios' let's hope for the former. Good luck.
