Racing Again At Tipperary On May 8th Race

Smart course winner. 16/1, very good second of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) on reappearance 39 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material.

Won 17-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 3/1) on debut last August, soon clear. Off 8 months. Up in trip. More to come but a smart effort will be needed on only second start.

Useful gelding. First run for 19 months/since leaving Andre Fabre when well-beaten eighth of 9 to Sunchart in listed race (7/1) at Naas (10.4f, heavy) 32 days ago. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him now taking a significant drop in trip.

Useful gelding. 33/1, below form 12¾ lengths sixth of 17 to Hamish in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good to soft). Off 172 days. Significantly down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Useful gelding. Won 7f Naas handicap on reappearance in March. Respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Big Gossey in Gladness Stakes (18/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 26 days ago. Should go well for yard seeking a third win in this since 2021.

Useful filly. 16¼ lengths tenth of 15 to Grand Stars in listed race (29/1) at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, heavy). Off 165 days. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Henri-Alex Pantall. Check the betting.

Useful filly. 40/1, 4 lengths ninth of 14 to Sakti in listed race at Dundalk (8f). Off 167 days. Reappears with the Ado McGuinness team in form.
