Horse Racing Tips: Listowel pair feature in Sunday 72/1 Sportsbook double

• Good ground at Listowel today

• Highland Rahy showed promise last time

• Wood down to attracive mark

Listowel - 15:37 - Back Highland Rahy

Good ground awaits at Listowel this afternoon and the likelihood the surface will quicken with the bright conditions, and the contenders for the 1m Maiden all look much of a muchness to use an old phrase, with a couple of 80-plus rated horses looking to break their duck.

Highland Rahy improved on his third start recently at Gowran Park just 12 days ago, and that looked a stronger race than today's with a well-backed Dermot Weld Moyglare bred scorer.

He was always up with the pace last time and certainly made the winner work hard, and considering he was sent off at 125/1, it was a super effort.

Fozzy Stack isn't in form however, as he is without a winner in two weeks, so that's a negative.

However, the selection has a good pedigree with an international flavour and he showed definite signs of ability on debut at Dundalk over 7f on his first start in the spring, and he's a horse with a big build and some presence.

Listowel - 16:07 - Back Blue Wood

A similar sort of price at 15/28.50 with Blue Wood, who arrives off the back of an unlucky run at Roscommon last time.

Roscommon is a track that usually has a hard luck story or two, and Blue Wood was checked a couple of times and short of room when going down by 8L.

He had previously put together two back-to-back solid efforts in April and March at Dundalk, including a win on the AW under today's jockey Alan Persse.

Persse claims 7lb, and Blue Wood is off a mark of 51 that gives him a chance with how well he is treated.
