Racing Again At TipperaryRaces July 5th Handicap (45-65)

Off time: 20:01 | Winning time: 1m 35.57s

(8)

Ancient Astronaut^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K Thornton| OR: 62

10/1

Losing run starting to mount up now and he's shown very little for this yard. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 070059

(9)

Boxer Dunford¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: D P Coakley| OR: 60| D

8/1

More effective on AW than turf but he ran well at Gowran two starts back on a fast surface. May be best forgiving his effort last time out and may be able to bounce back.

Form: 1-62130

(7)

Nam^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins| OR: 60| D

9/2

Inconsistent sort and he's placed just once in eight starts on turf, that came at Cork in May and needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Gowran last time.

Form: 415029

Voyageofdiscovery¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 60| D

10/1

Smooth travelling sort who is back on a workable handicap mark. Best form has come with a little more cut in the ground than what he gets here though.

Form: 165-804

Full Disclosure⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 57| D

9/4

Has started to find some form now and followed up a win at Naas with a good second at Gowran Park last time out. Every chance again from the same mark.

Form: 00-0012

(6)

Time Stands Still^h¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Martin| OR: 55

12/1

Consistent sort and while she's not got her head in front in 11 starts to date, she's been running some fine races in defeat. Seemingly only a matter of time before she gets her head in front and first-time headgear may help. Engaged Wednesday 6.30.

Form: 344306

Coach Bombay^p,t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: A B Joyce| OR: 48| D

6/1

Excellent 20/1 second last time at Naas and has found his form again in recent starts. Still not won on turf and not won since 2015 but has place claims yet again.

Form: 00-0732

(3)

Approbare^b,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T M Walsh| OR: 45

14/1

Best recent effort came at Laytown in 2016 and missed all of 2017. His two runs this term have been well below par and he has a bit to prove at present given he's without a win in 21 outings.

Form: 0260/80

(2)

Oor Jock^b¹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45| CD

7/1

Has not won on turf for almost four years and current mark leaves him 8lb out of the handicap. Engaged Wednesday 6.30.

Form: 527705

(11)

Florida's King^p,t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: A B Joyce| OR: 48

16/1

Improved a little on handicap debut last time out at Naas but still has plenty to find on form with several of these.

Form: 0-505

Full Disclosure (9/4), Nam (9/2), Coach Bombay (6/1), Oor Jock (7/1), Boxer Dunford (8/1), Voyageofdiscovery (10/1), Ancient Astronaut (10/1), Stormy Air (10/1), Time Stands Still (12/1), Approbare (14/1), Florida's King (16/1)

FULL DISCLOSURE has been in good form lately and he's taken to get his head back in front. Boxer Dunford may not be consistent but he's been in some good form this year and can't be ruled out. Coach Bombay may be on a long losing run but he wouldn't be without place claims if reproducing his run from last time,
