Tom Murphy Is Out On His Own (Ladies Pro/Am) Flat Race

Off time: 20:35 | Winning time: 3m 56.2s

Doubi The Risk^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss T T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

50/1

Has failed to complete in three previous starts and not hard to overlook this time.

Form: PP-U

Gun Merchant³⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss G Benson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

8/1

Points form has been promising but there's still plenty of raw talent for his new trainer to work on. Might just be wiser of this experience though.

Form: 24/3-

Guttural^t1³⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss J Walton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

6/1

Pulled up in a point-to-point last May but this €70,000 represents powerful connections and has to merit a betting check. The tongue tie for his racecourse debut is a concern though.

Form: P-

Peiata^p1,t1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss L A Hourigan| T: M Hurley

66/1

Pulled up in three of his four starts in point-to-points and was far from impressive when he did manage to complete. Tried in a tongue tie/cheekpieces combination and might be best left alone from a betting perspective.

Form: PP-7P

Rocket Lad²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss R Dudfield⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

4/9

The form of his debut run in a bumper (at the Punchestown Festival) created a very favourable impression and the gelding looks a sure-fire improver; well worth considering in a weak event like this.

Form: 3-3

Creadan Belle¹⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

8/1

Stablemate of Gun Merchant whose form in bumpers has been modest at best so far; best effort so far came on soft ground and the mare needs to dig a good bit deeper than previous performances.

Form: 6429-

Georgina Burgess^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne

12/1

Pulled up on debut in a point-to-point and didn't make much progress when tried in a bumper at Killarney earlier this month; much more now required.

Form: P-5

Forecasts

Rocket Lad (4/9), Guttural (6/1), Gun Merchant (8/1), Creadan Belle (8/1), Georgina Burgess (12/1), Doubi The Risk (50/1), Peiata (66/1)

ROCKET LAD looks the obvious one to side with in a very weak finale. Guttural was an expensive purchase and has to merit consideration in being introduced to racing under rules at this level, while Gun Merchant makes more appal than his stablemate Creadan Belle and is suggested as the best of the rest.
