Horse Welfare A Priority

At every race meeting there are minimum of two specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if a casualty occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and racegoers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary. A second veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horses requiring such attention post race. The horses’ welfare is always our priority. The Association of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRCVS)

RACE VERDICT Paul Nolan’s NICKY LARSON is penalised for his dominant win at Ballinrobe but that may not be enough to stop him following up. No Bother Aoife and Sands Castle were well held behind the selection last time but they can fight it out for the places here. Nod Of Approval is surely better than he showed at Ballinrobe and of the newcomers, Point Star appeals most on paper. [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

RACE 2 PREDICTOR

A modest affair. Churchfield Annie is respected on her hurdling debut as is Cosmic Front, for whom rain would be a big positive. Jo’s Secret holds leading form claims if rebounding from a poor run at Bellewstown but a chance is taken on the point winner TANGA MUGI. She was too keen in a Sligo bumper last time but hopefully the new hood will help her to settle better. Rare Times completes the shortlist. [Dave

The recent Tramore winner Small Bucks can go well again off 5lb higher and Dairy Force and Kilt have place claims but HOME BY THE SEA took a small step forward at Ballinrobe last time and if he can build on that, he may not be far away here.

RACE VERDICT The 113-rated Wackestone holds leading form claims but his best efforts have come on testing ground and he’s unproven at this trip. He is therefore taken on with the hurdling debutant SANTA DOMINGO who ran a big race on the Flat at the Curragh when last seen and he may be able to make a winning start for his new, in-form stable.

RACE 5 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Fourth in last year’s Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham, Rocky’s Diamond is well in at the weights but it remains to be seen if he’s back to his very best. It will suit REVEREND HUBERT if the ground stays on the lively side of good and he was in great form before his unplaced effort in the Galway Plate. This will tell us more about how Clay Pigeons can fly, while it will be interesting to see how Samui fares as he tries 3m for the first time. [Mark Nunan] Source:

RACE 6 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Loads with chances. The first three home in last year’s renewal were Fire Coral, SCHIEHALLION and Georgia Celena and maybe the middle-named, who was also second over C&D in 2024, can make the breakthrough. Fire Coral had a good run on the Flat lately and should be thereabouts, while Journey So Far and Astley are unexposed and rated much higher over fences. Source: Racing Post

The Racing Post Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE 7 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Harry Kelly has had a good summer and a chance is taken with his wellbred newcomer HUTTON STAR. Molly Des Bruyeres also has a nice page and represents a capbale yard. It’s hard to choose between the previous winners, although Harry Swan has plumped for Clovelly Charm ahead of Missouri Snow, and this galloping track will suit the former. Bredas Pearl is progressing and has a life as well. [Mark Nunan] Source: Racing Post
