Sean mc namara

Ex Irish independent bookmaker of 10 years, I only punt Irish h’caps , solving the puzzle of a wide open h’cap fascinates me, so finding that long-shot is my daily goal.. I rarely punt single figures, and given the nature of that I often go long droughts with no winner ..! I’ll persevere with the jumps but I do love a 0-65 flat handicap..

MAID ON THE MOON jumps a fence, but this mare has half-decent hurdle form to fall back on both here and the UK. 3rd in Limerick 3 runs back in a mares 0-109 event, a repeat of that could see her compete at this lower level. The first-time blinkers could bring a bit of improvement. I’d ignore her last 2 runs; they were listed events. She’s just looking for black type for this mare. It’s risky, but this is more her grade, and if Hannah Phillips (no winner ridden yet) can keep her nerve, she might outrun her number. Small chance.

Happy Dreams

I’m drawn to HAPPY DREAMS here. Michael McDonagh’s charge has been predominantly chasing but hasn’t shown much of late. Some of his best form reads: he won a 45k listed handicap chase last Christmas 12 months in Limerick on soft heavy off 112. But if it’s a going day, I think he’d have more than a squeak in this contest. He’s fit from chasing, acts on the going. It’s a poor race, he has ability, is a 5-time winner (4 chases), including a win here at this venue.

A race I'm struggling with. I was going to walk away, but I'll have a small tentative each way on Malbay Madness. A lot of these are very poor and might never win. This lad has a few decent snippets of form for Emmet Mullins, and if he discovered any bit of that, he could outrun this number. He has handled the soft and had a decent flat rating in the 80s. His Limerick run (2 runs back) wasn't too shabby, and I think a chance can be taken.

The way this mare won LTO in Down Royal suggests there’s more to come, and it’s easy to see why. She won eased down off 104. Andrew Latta said after the race she’d be suited by a stronger gallop over further. That was 2 miles. She’s up another 2 furlongs today and will most definitely get a strong pace here. With all the big stables represented here, this mare might get overlooked, but at double digits, she might be worth a small investment.

Hialeah might show a bit more now upped in trip. Charles Weld's 5 y/o has had 2 recent spins around here over a mile and gave the impression there might be more to come over further. His best bit of form was over 1 mile 1 in Gowran last season where he ran into the progressive Boyea (now rated 93). The handicapper dropped him 3 lbs after the 2 runs and he might be well treated. He should run well.

Adrian Murray saddles one here for AMO Racing that looks interesting. Love the booking of Sam Coen claiming the 7! Finished 2nd 3 times last season over 7 and a mile twice. Popped up here recently at 6 furlongs recently , finishing 4th and crying out for a trip. The move back to a mile today looks sure to suit, drawn low, and while it’s competitive, looks set fair for a bold show.

Sheila Lavery’s ROAMING EYES might be ready to trouble the judge for the first time. We can forget her last run as she had a horrendous draw. The handicapper has been incredibly fair, dropping her the bones of a stone. Rory Cleary takes over from Siobhan Rutledge, and with a low draw and the hood added, I think a chance can be taken.

Willie Martin’s 7 y/o JAZZY DANCER is a 2-time C/D winner here at DD and could go well again tonight if on song. He rarely puts in a bad shift here, to be fair, having placed on numerous occasions. I like the booking of talented 7lb claimer Darragh O'Sullivan. He’s back on his last winning mark and has plenty of place form on this mark also. The Wexford handler was unlucky not to saddle a big-priced winner at Limerick yesterday, pipped on the line. I’ll roll the dice.

John McConnell’s Knockmore Prince ran well from a low draw here 2 runs back. Drawn low here in trap 2 today, he might run well again. He seems to like this venue in that he has placed here 5 times. Missed the kick LTO over this trip, but you might argue he had a bad draw. The handicapper has left the mark the same, but I think at 25s, if it’s a going day, might be worth a small ew poke.

Given how well Mark Fahy's stable is performing, MELKEM could have a chance in this, his 2nd handicap. This unexposed 5 y/o hasn’t shown a whole pile yet, but the extra 5 furlongs and the added cheekpieces could bring out the improvement required. Tom O'Connor has ridden a winner for Mark Fahy recently. This lad might outrun his odds.. small chance

Bungle Intedessert might be worth a small each-way poke at a price. Cian Fahy's 10lb might be the factor here. Luke McAteer rode him last time out, and while he didn’t trouble the leaders, he did meet a bit of interference late on and might have finished a tad closer. His chance might not be far away, and the 10lb is appealing in this spot. He’s a C/D winner, he’s a few lbs below his last winning mark, they’ve added the tongue strap, and drawn 6 helps. Small each-way poke.

I’ll take a stab at RATTLETHEONIONBAG here. It’s her first stab at 5 furlongs, and from a low draw with Wesley Joyce’s 5lb, that might be the edge she’s looking for. Her best bit of form is at 6, so having a pop at the minimum is probably worth a go. It’s competitive for a low grade, but she’s probably got one in her, and the price is fair. I’ll take a chance.

LYGON LAD is a winner in waiting, I’d imagine. A solid 2nd to a Charles Byrnes hotpot on his penultimate run over 2 miles reads well. The extra 2 furlongs today shouldn’t inconvenience. A line through his Leopardstown LTO run puts him right in the mix here. There was no excuse offered up for that disappointing performance. The drift was a concern too, but maybe the quicker going might not have suited. Back to soft today and Elliott in tremendous form, a chance can be taken.

Probably shouldn’t as it has drifted, but going to take a small each-way punt on Chanceawetmorning. Noel Kelly is a master at improving them from other stables. This lad came from Shark Hanlon’s and is now having his first run in a handicap, plus they’ve added the first-time visor. He had shown ability for Shark, placing twice last year. I am concerned about his two previous runs where he showed nothing, albeit it was maidens. I’m hoping the improvement comes in first-time handicap. The booking of Conor Stone-Walsh is eye-catching as I’ve never seen him ride for this very smart stable before. Risky, but he’s one of the least unexposed.

My Gaffer could outrun this price. He should come on for that December run here and hopefully make his presence felt. John Ryan’s 7 y/o came in for good support that day. The good ground should be favorable and this mark looks fair. Danny Mullins stays loyal to this lad, but you’d imagine he’d have had the choice of John Ryan’s other runner, who he partners regularly.

An impossible handicap where everything has a chance. So, with 6 places on offer with some firms, I’ve taken a punt on Dermot McLoughlin’s Barry Lyndon. For 7, he’s lightly raced. They are probably still learning with him. If the ground continues to dry out, which it is, it should help his cause. His form is in good/yielding. He’s a distance winner. His mark looks fair. I’d imagine he’s set fair for a decent showing in a fiercely competitive handicap.

Brendan Walsh’s Le Fanu might be worth a go. He’s a 9 y/o, he’s still relatively unexposed and very lightly raced. They backed the conkers off this lad LTO (20/1-5/1) and ran well but made a few hurdling errors. They’ve gone back for Danny Gillian, who he ran well for in Listowel on his penultimate run. Two of the last three runners for this North Cork handler visited the winner’s enclosure. If he cleans up his act, he might have a chance.

Saxton King shouldn’t be 50/1 surely! Tom Dowling acquired this lad off Philip Rothwell in December and has knocked 2 decent runs out of him. The best of those was over this trip mid-December when beaten 2 lengths into 3rd when gambled on. Both runs left his old form with Rothwell well behind, suggesting the new stable hasn’t done any harm. He’s had a spin over hurdles New Year’s Eve, and I’ll happily ignore that. He’s exposed, but off this ultra-lightweight, drawn low, and with the 7lb claimer on board, it’s an easy play for me.

John Queally’s lightly raced 9 y/o GRINGO D'AINAY might have a chance. They’ve punted this lad a few times but have come up short, suggesting the ability is there. Back into handicap company today and on a workable mark, plus they’ve added the first cheekpieces. I think this might be a good spot for him to show his hand…

I gotta take a chance on Pat Martin's Eastern Capitol here. This mark of 49 looks like a good spot for him to ‘push the button’ on this lad. He’s a 4 y/o acquired out of Ger Lyons’s, has had 3 runs now for the Navan handler and might be ready to trouble the judge. Drawn low, which helps, and the handicapper appears to have given him an opportunity. If the step back up to a mile at this mark works, he might outrun these odds.

Going to take a speculative punt on Willie Docherty’s bottom weight and 50/1 shot DALMATIC. It might hit the frame at a price here today. There are 5 places on offer here and it’s weak, so I’ll take a chance. This 5 y/o didn’t run badly at all LTO in Cork, finishing mid-division. This 5 y/o might improve for that in what could be a weaker contest. If it’s a going day, this 20 grand purchase might outrun these odds, getting 2 stone off the favorite and top weight!
