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..

Co Clare handler Brian McMahon looks to hold a chance here with LOUGHRASK RAINBOW. This 7 y/o came from another parish to finish a close-up 4th at Sligo LTO (25/1-8/1). I thought James Smith gave it a poor ride with too much to do. That was over 2 miles 5, the extra 2 furlongs might bring out a bit more improvement. Handicapper adds 1lb, James Smith retains the ride. It’s competitive, but he’d have a squeak I’d imagine.

The blinkers worked the trick for Kieran Purcell's YOU DONE WELL under Danny Gilligan LTO in Limerick, and it might pay to stay onside with the Kilkenny handler's 4 y/o who could be on the rise. Danny Gilligan retains the ride. Slight jump in class, hopefully the 5lb penalty won’t stop him improving. The extra furlong should help. Loads in with a chances here, so a tentative ew poke from me.

3 y/o James The Second did everything right 2 runs back in Limerick. Took it up at the furlong pole, kicked on and looked home for all money but unfortunately got collared close home. 10lb claimer Terry Casey gave him a great ride but just met one too good. He missed the kick at Down Royal LTO, so we have to put a line through that. A repeat of the Limerick run, albeit with an extra furlong to contend with, would surely see him on the premises. 3lb more to carry wouldn’t put me off. He’s taking on his own age group today after 2 attempts against the older horses..

Rodchester Mike looks to hold a chance in a competitive affair. His penultimate run (and his first of the season) was encouraging, finishing 5th of 14 at Cork, beaten less than 2 lengths (met interference and might have finished closer). That was on good/firm, today's going. An excuse was offered up last time out in Gowran where Julian Pietropaolo said he collided with the rail and ran no race thereafter. Pietropaolo is benched in favor of Declan McDonagh. I’ll shout it home in the hope of giving Ahern his first winner inside the rails.

A competitive handicap for 3 y/o and upwards, and surprisingly the 3 & 4 y/o hold an advantage over the older ones, winning 5 out of the last 5 years. It might pay to side with Paul Flynn’s 4 y/o Rappell. He looks a progressive type, having won 3 times last season. He’s yet to trouble the judge this term, but he showed he’s in good heart 2 runs back over today’s trip at Listowel, beaten 1.5 lengths in a bunch finish into 6th. LTO over 5f might have been too sharp. He’s a course and distance winner. They’ve added the first-time cheekpieces, and he appears to act on most surfaces. This looks the spot he improves on the season and There’s enough here to warrant an ew poke out of me.

I’d have no doubt after HEMLIGHT won at Gowran LTO, father and daughter connection Sylvia and Pat O'Donnell immediately penciled in this Ladies Derby at the Curragh for this 4 y/o. That was over a mile, and the step up to 10f could hopefully eke out a bit of further improvement. They won this race 3 years back with 65 rated ‘extensio’ who went on to improve beyond recognition. A similar path is being followed here, and I’ll take a chance.

AMERICAN IN PARIS has run well here at Naas on numerous occasions without actually winning. This 5 y/o filly of Paul Flynn teed up in this race last year. She missed the kick by a country mile and flew home to nab 3rd. She's 6lb lower today and 16lb below her last winning mark. If everything comes together, down at this mark she might outrun these odds. Slight bias for low numbers here, so #5 is another small positive.

Bottom weight Ainm Bentley is a wild swing here. Missed the break LTO in Gowran but responded well to pressure after being last into the straight, staying on up the hill to finish 7th of 15, beaten by 9 lengths. The extra furlong and the first-time blinkers might bring about a bit of improvement. Kieran Purcell has retained Martin Hassett, and that 5lb claim ensures this bottom-rated gets a nice pull off these. All the risks, but at 50/1, all the rewards.

I’m not saying CASANOVA can win, but I do think he can leave some of that old form behind. He’s been racing on soft ground of late (last 3 runs) and his best form, and indeed winning form, is on a sounder surface. The forecast is ‘good’ with light or little overnight rain, so there are risks involved. This is his trip. He’s a 3-time winner, he’s 6 lbs below his last winning mark. One more positive is Adam Caffrey is back on board. He rides most winners for Ado. Lots of risks, but 25/1 is juicy.

Ben Griffin is riding a hot streak, making him an intriguing pick. In 2025, he has posted strong results, including an eighth-place finish at the PGA Championship, a win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and a runner-up at the Memorial Tournament. Griffin’s balanced game??"gaining strokes in all four major categories (driving, approach, short game, and putting)??"aligns well with Torrey Pines’ all-around test. His debut at the 2025 U.S. Open saw him finish T-4, demonstrating his ability to compete on difficult courses. Griffin’s accuracy off the tee (crucial for navigating Torrey’s narrow fairways) and improving iron play make him a fit for the South Course’s long par-4s and par-5s…

Harris English has shown a resurgence in form, making him a compelling candidate. His recent performances include a T-2 at the 2024 PGA Championship and consistent top finishes in tough setups. English excels in strategic play, which suits Torrey Pines’ demanding South Course, where precision off the tee and strong iron play are critical. His past success at similar venues, such as a third-place finish at the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot and a fourth at the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, highlights his ability to handle firm, fast conditions and thick rough. English’s calm demeanor and experience in high-pressure situations further bolster his case. His putting on poa annua greens, a key factor at Torrey, has been solid, and his recent stroke gains across all categories make him a threat to outperform his odds.

Keegan Bradley’s well-rounded skill set and recent form make him a viable contender. Bradley finished runner-up to Max Homa at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, proving his comfort at Torrey Pines. His driving stats are a standout: he ranks among the top players in both distance and accuracy over recent rounds, a critical combination for the South Course’s long, penal layout. Bradley’s experience on poa annua greens, particularly in Northeast and West Coast events, enhances his putting potential. His iron play, especially from mid-to-long range, suits Torrey’s approach demands, and his T-2 at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open shows he can contend here. Bradley’s major championship pedigree (2011 PGA Championship winner) and recent top-50 finishes in majors all add to his case ..

Min Woo Lee, is a strong long-shot for the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. His recent PGA Tour win at the 2025 Houston Open and T-4 at the 2025 U.S. Open highlight his form. Lee’s elite driving distance (325.3 yards, 7th at 2023 U.S. Open) and top-tier approach play (8.383 strokes gained: approach, 1st at 2023 Farmers) suit the South Course’s long, demanding layout. His short game (3rd in strokes gained: around the green) and putting on poa annua greens (9th in 2024 Farmers field) are assets. Despite limited course history (T-21 in 2024 debut), his ability to handle tough setups and a weaker field.. Lee’s value lies in his upside as a rising star with major pedigree…

Just a small tentative each way on a rag here with 5 places on offer. A terribly poor race with a lot of thoroughly exposed types, so I was looking for something unexposed at a price and landed on Liz Doyle’s CONFLICT LADY. Unsighted in 4 maiden runs this season, this 5-year-old mare is chucked in at a mark of 72 and now tackles a trip for the first time, getting weight from all these. I’m just hoping this lenient mark might be exploitable. It looks like a spot where she could find improvement. I’m grasping at straws here, but the price is right.

Oakmont’s tight fairways and slick greens play to English’s strengths. He’s a fairway hitter, nailing 68.8% last season (15th on TOUR) while averaging 300.0 yards off the tee with a 0.155 SG: Off-the-Tee. His iron play can waver (-0.103 SG: Approach), but he was lights-out at the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open, ranking 4th in SG: Approach (3.961) to win at Torrey Pines, a U.S. Open-style course.
English is in top form: T2 at the 2025 PGA Championship, T19 at THE PLAYERS, and five top-20s in his last ten starts. His U.S. Open history is solid??"T4 in 2021, T8 in 2023??"showing he handles major pressure. His putter’s been hot, gaining 6.039 SG: Putting at Farmers, and his 19.44% par-breaker rate fits Oakmont’s par-is-king vibe. Post-hip surgery, the 35-year-old Georgian is healthy and battle-tested. English’s precision and grit make him a contender.

#3 Russell Henley. Oakmont’s tight fairways and punishing greens are right in Henley’s wheelhouse. His elite driving accuracy??"73.5% last season (3rd on TOUR)??"and 295.7-yard average keep him in play on this brutal course. His approach game is rock-solid, with a 0.343 SG: Approach (33rd) and 7.877 SG: Approach at the 2024 Valero Texas Open, where he finished 4th. Henley’s form is red-hot: a win at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational (11-under), T5 at the Memorial, and T7 at the 2024 U.S. Open (1-under). He’s posted five top-10s in his last ten starts, including a T4 at the 2023 Masters. His U.S. Open record is strong, with a 20th-place average over five starts and top-25s in four of his last five. On the greens, he’s clutch, averaging 0.304 SG: Putting (39th) and 27.90 putts per round (7th). The Georgia native thrives under pressure, and Oakmont’s grind suits his steady, mistake-avoiding style (22.53% par-breaker rate). With his recent momentum and course fit, Henley’s a contender.

His iron play is elite??"0.577 SG: Approach (14th) and 67.41% greens in regulation??"perfect for Oakmont’s demands. Bradley’s form is strong: T7 at the Memorial, T8 at the 2025 PGA, and a win at the 2024 BMW Championship. As a Northeast native and 2025 Ryder Cup captain, he’s unfazed by pressure or Poa greens. His bogey avoidance (22.88% par-breakers) fits a U.S. Open grind. His Putting’s a question but recent flashes suggest he can heat up…. I won’t be talked out of backing him..

Eagles Whistle might be worth chancing. She hasn’t troubled the judge yet but has hinted at ability, and her day might not be far away. Didn’t show a whole pile on the all-weather, but two recent turf runs were encouraging. She responded well under pressure last time out in Listowel, flew home over 7, suggesting the extra furlong will suit. Prior to that in Killarney, she met interference and flew home when the gap came. Chris Hayes staying loyal is another positive. Maybe she wants further than a mile (maybe not). Either way, I’ll pull the trigger today.

Leaning towards Erik van Rooyen due to his exceptional recent form and course fit. Fresh off a dominant U.S. Open qualifier performance, shooting 13-under to earn medalist honors, van Rooyen is in great shape. His strong driving (seventh in SG: Off-the-Tee) and solid approach play (43rd in SG: Approach) align with the par-70 North Course’s 7,389-yard layout, which favors long hitters.

Alan McIntyre’s MOONHALL LASS has a pop at a mile today. Based on her performance LTO in Roscommon, keeping on well inside the dying stages, suggests to my untrained eye she might need that extra furlong. Adding to that, that’s 2 x 0-90s she’s run well in now, boxing above her division 65 rated. This drop to the 0-70 grade with the handicapper shaving off another 2lb could be what the doctor ordered. If they punted this filly 16/1-11/2f LTO in that grade, they’ll surely fancy this today, if she stays the mile of course.

It might pay to be onside with EASTERN WIND here tonight. She’s clearly in good heart after she won a maiden hurdle LTO in Tipp, and prior to that, won a mile 4 flat at Bellewstown. Tom McCourt said after that win that she's down to a lovely mark on the flat and was ground versatile. She’s won twice round here, and trap 1 tonight is very appealing considering that. She’s getting weight from all of these. She might be ahead of the handicapper, runs off 62 today, and has won off 74 & 76. The more I look at her, the more I like her. I'll strike while the iron is hot.

I think Laura Hourigan’s HUNTERBERG comes here with as good a chance as any. He has to back up that good second at Cork LTO, but should appreciate the extra furlong (has won at 1 mile 2). He has been placed off this mark twice, both on turf and AW. Rory Mulligan retains the ride. That 7lbs makes this lad appealing for me at the weights as this is a slight drop in grade. It’s drifted a little this morning, but that won’t put me off. I fancy it and it ticks a few boxes.

I’m drawn to Richard Brabazon’s Gordon Bennett. The Curragh handler rarely races this 7 y/o outside of here and Naas. He’s got traveling issues. He’s a C/D winner, runs off 69 but has won off 90/80 & 73, so he’s a long way below his last winning mark. It’s easy to put a line through his last run; it was a 0-90. Prior to that, he was punted 12/1-4/1f and got carried wide entering the straight and was beaten by 5 lengths in a 0-70. The handicapper drops him 6 lbs since that, and given it’s another drop in grade today, his chance might not be far away. The booking of Dylan Brown McMonagle catches the eye also. Leading chance in a fiercely competitive handicap.

A nice pot here for some average types. It’s a 0-140 but only attracted a top weight of 123, so very ‘winnable’. Tony Martin has a 38k purchase in here off bottom weight and just might make a mockery of this mark. He has had 3 maiden hurdle spins, followed by 2 flat maiden spins without revealing his hand. This 5 y/o shouldn’t be lacking for fitness. It's a nice pot, and I'd sincerely doubt he'll try and bury it here. He’s getting weight from all of them, and while it’s a bit of a punt in the dark, I'll chance an each-way poke at double digits and hide behind the couch..!!

I’ve backed SHARETHETREASURE twice now, and she’s left me with egg on my face. She stood up in the gates and missed the break LTO here, so forgiveness is required. I’m hoping the first-time visor can eke out a little improvement. The handicapper has been more than fair, shaving off another 3 lbs, leaving her at a career low..

Sepp Straka, with 2 wins under his belt already this season, the American Express and the Truist, has played this event 5 times and has 2 top 25s and a top 10 to call on. He’s coming into this hotter than ever and could improve on those numbers now. The world number 9 looks set fair for a good week.

Would be madness to leave out Lowry this week. He’s played well here in the past with 3 top 25s and a top 10. The world number 14 is 10 from 12 on the season with 2 seconds and 4 top 10s and 5 million banked. His game suits Muirfield where accuracy trumps distance. His putter is solid in general, but if it lights up this week, he might improve on his recent Truist 2nd.

Tommy Fleetwood is one of the first names on my list this week For me, the world number 12 is 11 from 11 cuts made this season with 4 top 10s, and 3 of them in the last 4 tournaments. He’s hitting top form, and a win can’t be far away for this accurate ball striker.

World number 13, Victor Hovland, will be a popular 'tip' this week. He won this in '23 and has a top 10 and 2 top 25s. He's already a winner this season and has 4 top 10s on his CV. He did pick up a rib injury mid-season but showed no ill effects last time out in the PGA, finishing T28. Never missed the cut here, looks set fair for a good week.

SILENT DAWN has had 3 spins this season and looks like someone ready to collect a cheque. He looked a winner jumping the 2nd last LTO here at Kilbeggan but didn’t find enough at the business end. Similar story at Clonmel on his penultimate start, finishing 3rd of 13, and prior to that fell at the last at Clonmel. Adrian Murray’s 6 y/o has given the impression stepping up in trip won't inconvenience him too much, and the 1st time cheekpieces offer hope also.

There are four in this that are having their first run in a handicap, and I tried desperately hard to make a case for one, but I just couldn’t make anything stick. I should maybe walk away, but I’m going to throw a wild dart at an exposed one in SURVIVING MURMANSK. He’s a well below average sort, hasn’t troubled the judge in either code, but digging a little deeper, I did notice his two best hurdle runs have been here in Tramore. Two runs back, he finished a respectable 4th of 12 here, the hope is he could build on that , went chasing next and pulled up, so scratch that. In 2023, he finished 4th here at this level, beaten by 5 lengths. They don’t all handle this place. Tentative each way from me..

TOOR MOON’s mark is slipping and his day might be coming. He’s no complete duffer as he has loads of place form back along. If this was Tramore, I’d fancy him more as he was 2nd there twice last season. He’d been placed off 90 and 92 twice (runs off 84 today). Has placed on good as well as soft,listowel can come up soft in a jiffy, and has had the benefit of a recent run (6th of 16). They’ve benched the regular apprentice rider for Donagh Meyler. 33/1 isn’t bad at all ..
