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..

Part of me thinks they might be teeing this lad up for a December punt as he’s a winner here in December already, but he does tick a box or two tonight .. Dick Donohoe’s charge was the subject of a monster punt (33s-3s) 2 runs back at Naas but was beat 3 length’s into 4th that day .. he’s a winner off a much higher mark than this , is a two time distance winner and has won here on the sand before.. the booking of Sam coen claiming a whopping 10 makes this selection even more tempting..

DEVILS ANGEL ran her best race in a while LTO and might be worth chancing at a price, he’s 10lbs down on the season and might be on a good mark now, he has the obstacle of a high draw to overcome but Chris hayes who takes over from sean bird knows every grain of sand round here.. he’s 8 so there isn’t any improvement left in the tank but is a long way below his winning marks and if he handles the surface might outrun his odds...

Mark McNiff’s runners in Sligo are always worth a 2nd look, this local handler saddles 4 in this and might have a squeak with HUNGRY ROCK, if it’s busy it has to be said, this is very poor and won’t take much winning and he’ll know that .. this lightly raced 4 y/o had 5 mid division spins in the flat this year .. he’s had his 3 maiden hurdle runs without doing much but might fare better now handicapping.. it’s risky , there isn’t a lot to go on but this looks like a good spot for McNiff to show his hand with this 8k purchase..

LISABETTA has been running well in defeat for tim doyle and as a result the handicaper has relented , winless this season but down 7lbs which is very close to her last winning mark, she’s a winner in October 2 of the last 3 years, something I look for in fillys and mares .. she’ll handle the soft, is a winner at the trip and looks to hold a decent chance..

MAGIC CHARM might be worth chancing ew today, all his best form is on soft/heavy, he’s a distance winner twice, ran no race LTO in the curragh on good so a line through that needed but should be a strip fitter after a mid season break.. Ticks a few boxes and I’d expect him to be on the premises in this grade, so a tentative ew for me with 5 places on offer.

Im drawn to the inform stable of paddy magee’ and his 3 y/o GOLDRUSH KID here.. I backed this lad LTO and immediately thought his turn wasn’t far away, small drop in class today and back taking on his own age group , he tried to make all and stuck to his task well when swallowed at the furlong pole, beat 2 lengths , handled the soft well james ryan takes over from Robbie colgon and shaves off a valuable 3lbs .. he’s draw in stall 1 so I’d expect a repeat of trying to make all. The cheekpieces remain and I’ll roll a tentative dice.

NIKA PIKA got a pig of a ride off young paddy mc gettigan(we’ll forgive him, mistakes will be made) in listowel 2 runs back where he brought her very wide and very late to be just denied over today’s trip of 7 furlongs.. she tried a mile LTO and didn’t get home, back to 7 today , paddy Magee has opted for another talented apprentice in Sam Coen claiming the 10.. she’s drawn low and it was soft in listowel so we’ll presume she handles it and I’d think she can run close.

Lovely competitive handicap at HQ to round off the day, if you ran this race 20 times you’d probably get 20 different results.. and absolutely no point in backing anything too short in this as they can all beat each other on any given day.. 3 year olds have a good record in this winning 3 of the last 5 runnings of this , Joe murphy has a lightly raced and potential improver in this in the shape of PINK OXALIS , she ran a cracker over 6 furlongs at cork LTO (beat 1.75 lengths) in her 1st handicap run and could improve on that quiet easy .. I like the fact that Garry carroll stays loyal and this extra furlong today could bring out that improvement.. leading claims imo ..

BANG PO has his conditions , he’s a mudlark and judging by his penultimate run (5th here) his turn might not be far away .. as we pray for more rain the Navan handler has added the 1st time blinkers , his win last September last season (on heavy) was 1st time cheekpieces.. jack Cleary (7lbs) is an eye catching booking , handicapper is relenting ,10lbs down on his last 5 runs and now 7lbs below his winning mark.. his turn is definitely coming, might well be today ..

Going to chance a small ew on Mick Mulvany’s LUST here.. this lad was a 1/2 decent 2 and 3 year old (listed winner) but hasn’t trained on for whatever reason.. he’s 6 now and come tumbling down the ratings to this 0-75 grade (peak 102) .. there has been signs this year that he might be ready to trouble the judge soon, campaigned solely over 1 mile this term , trying 1 mile 2 furlongs today and adding the 1st time blinkers it’s possible he might show more than he’s been showing over the mile, its risky and could go either way but 16/1 is inviting for a small ew poke.

Im drawn to a maiden here in Ken Budds’s 5 y/o INCHIQUIN MAID, she ran her best race by far LTO over course and distance when beat 3.5 lengths into 6th.. the handicapper has relented another 2lbs .. had Shane foley not dropped the whip that day she may have finished closer to.. ken budd’s stable is purring along nicely recently with a few hitting the board at big prices .. its risky but this 0-65 lacks quality and I think a chance can be taken ..

You could make a case for the majority of these quiet easy as there are bits of form and indications everywhere.. I’m siding with Chris Timmons’s STEPBACKINTIME here, this 6 y/o filly won round here last year over just sky of 6 furlongs.. the ex jockey seems to plotting a similar route with this lady.. no complaints from the handicapper who shaved off 5lbs from her last run, the booking of jack Cleary catches the eye in this apprentice event and stall 3 is ideal, no ground concerns either .. it’s competitive but at 20/1+ a chance can be taken ..

Tricky 0-65 with chances everywhere I look , Patrick Magee (stable hitting the board lately) saddles one here (SI SENIOR) than I can make a case for , ridden by an excellent and exciting young apprentice Patrick mc Gettigan claiming 10lbs .. JJ ryan got this 3 y/o filly into a world of trouble LTO in Dundalk and never recovered.. that was over 7 furlongs and the step up to a mile (unexposed at) might suit .. she’s had 4 runs this season and the handicapper has relented greatly,down 11 lbs .. she’ll trouble the judge soon and this might be the spot.. the draw is tricky but the price is right..

I’ll never tire of saying these with ladies amateurs you can chuck the form book out the window as these races can throw up all sorts of results.. ciaran Murphy has booked Joanna Walton who has ridden the winner of this race twice in the past .. this 6 y/o went through the sales ring recently for a whopping 40k .. he’s a distance winner twice, ground dependable and Murphy has been among the winners recently.. it’s possible this is a springboard to his winter jumps campaign.. That said I’ll take a tentative ew approach in the hope it’s a going day ..

Despite the double figure odds HATFIELD HAMMER must have a chance in a weak 0-95, paul Nolan’s lightly raced 5 y/o was a good 2nd to the 99 rated oneforthrditch in Killarney 3 runs back and if he can produce something like that here on similar going he might play a role..we do need to forgive his penultimate run and if it's a going day the 1st time cheekpieces and the return to 2 mile 4 might help his cause.

Tom mc Guinness’s COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE ticks a few boxes , albeit she’s an exposed 9 y/o .. they’ve reached for a very good 7lb claimer in jack cleary.. she’s a course winner here(won this race 2 years ago) .. she back down to her last winning mark off 42, is ground dependable and while she’s 5lbs wrong I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a going day .. I'll take a chance at 20/1

Co clare handler Brian mc mahon landed a bit of a touch in listowel midweek with West Clare and i think might have a chance here today with this mare BALLYROE MADAM, she’s a reserve so we need a bit of luck , she’s has 2 runs at 2 miles and each time showed signs of improvement is coming when stepping up in trip, she tackles 2 mile 4 today on a surface she’s sure to handle… mc mahon is a shrewd operator and id hazard a guess this is the spot she shows improvement..
